In an unusual police operation, officers disguised as Batman and Robin arrested illegal gamblers targeting tourists on Westminster Bridge. The duo aimed to catch known offenders by leveraging their recognizable costumes to approach the criminals incognito. This creative strategy by the Metropolitan police yielded positive results, successfully arresting two men engaged in unlawful gambling schemes, ultimately decreasing the risk to unsuspecting tourists. The operation exemplifies how innovative approaches can enhance traditional policing methods in urban areas where offenders become familiar with police presence.
"We know that two repeat offenders have been operating on Westminster Bridge and have come to recognise me and my team from our patrols. I knew that if we were going to catch them we would have to think outside the box, and then I remembered that I had Batman and Robin costumes to hand which could come in use."
"Although dressing up may not be the most conventional policing method, we were thrilled to see that in this case it worked perfectly and the team were able to get some great results, taking these people off the street and protecting tourists and Londoners from being fleeced."
