Toy gun sparks Heathrow alert
25.07.10
A toy gun belonging to a young member of a Middle Eastern royal family sparked a security alert at Heathrow Airport last week. The imitation weapon was left in a bag on a flight from Paris, from were the dignitaries had boarded through a VIP channel.
The royal members boarded the flight from Charles de Gaulle Airport, but it is not known how the toy gun passed through security in Paris. Civilian security guards alerted police after discovering the forgotten toy on Monday evening. But the toy was returned to its owner once its innocent nature had been established, Scotland Yard said.
The incident could lead to red faces among security staff in Paris for allowing the toy gun on to the flight.
