Penalty notices for Leeds Bradford bomb hoaxers
28.07.07
Two 18 year old men who were arrested following an incident at Leeds Bradford Airport on Thursday received penalty notices for public order offences.
Officers from the Airport Neighbourhood Policing Team (NPT) were alerted after the men were heard making comments about bombs at the airport. The men were arrested and interviewed.
Following an investigation it was established that there was no basis to the comments made, and both were given penalty notices for public order offences.
Inspector Simon Hepworth of Leeds Bradford Airport NPT said: 'It is important that we send out a strong message that bomb hoaxes are extremely reckless, malicious and irresponsible, and even more so in the current climate. Bomb hoaxes take airport staff and Police officers away from genuine incidents, and can also cause needless alarm to members of the public.'
'West Yorkshire Police will take such incidents in the most serious manner and we will make every effort to trace and prosecute anyone making hoax threats or calls.'
