Police investigation underway after a 12-year-old boy slipped past security and boarded a plane headed from London to Los Angeles despite not having a ticket.
A police investigation is underway at Heathrow, London’s biggest airport, after a 12-year-old boy managed to slip past security and board a plane headed to Los Angeles despite not having a ticket.
“He was identified by cabin crew during pre-flight check. He did not have a ticket or any travel documents," a spokesman for Scotland Yard said."The boy was an unaccompanied minor. He is not a UK national. As a security precaution, passenger de-planed following a discussion between police and the captain. The child is believed to have arrived at Heathrow as a transit passenger.”
“So I survived my six hour wait at Heathrow but am now delayed on the tarmac because a young boy made his way onto our plane – BA269 – without a ticket," she tweeted."Big security breach. So much fun for everyone on board. We were meant to take off at 4.15pm. It’s nearly 6pm.” Passengers reported that the entire plane was screened by security again after the breach. The plane took off five hours after its original departure time.
