Came across this via Taxi Point =D>

And it's based on a brief tweet from Aviation Policing Heathrow - who knew such a thing existed :-o

(Looks like it's part of the Met, as opposed to a standalone organisation like British Transport Police.)

Not much information, though, but it's fair to say that it gets quite a lot of information in in not many words. And even has a photo of the perp.

And if the tweet above could be described in terms of economy of words, the Taxi Point rehash is maybe more on the arms and legs/verbose side :-o

The headline and photo alone just about covers it all :D

But here's the link if anyone feels the need...

heathrow has quite a large police contingent although they don't always wander around the terminals with machine guns these days.

I'm at Heathrow several times a week.

In all those years, I've never knowingly seen a tout.

And you would have thought I would notice them.
