This unconventional approach, which occurred on February 15, has proven successful, resulting in the conviction of two men. Insp Darren Watson expressed excitement about their unique method, stating it effectively took criminal elements off the streets and safeguarded both tourists and London residents from unlawful activities. The Met Police emphasized this strategy targets individuals who are used to regular patrols, enhancing the effectiveness of their operations against such crimes.
On 15 February, Insp Darren Watson (Batman) and sidekick PC Osman (Robin) carried out a 'superhero mission' that led to the conviction of two men.
I remembered that I had Batman and Robin costumes to hand which could come in useful. This unusual tactic has proven highly effective.
I am thrilled to see the unusual crime fighting tactic work to take these people off the street and protect tourists and Londoners from being fleeced.
The Met said the undercover operation targeted suspects familiar with their usual patrols, making the approach highly effective in combating illegal gambling.
