The artists who fraud in tourists in London meet their match: Batman and Robin

Batman and Robin took a break from crime control in Gotham to lead to low -level fraudsters who deceive tourists in central London.

Footage participated in Metropolitan police on Friday showed that the secret officers were hidden in supernatural costumes that treated a man who was running an entertainment game in the streets similar to “”Monti three card“Near Parliament. The police said the game was an illegal gambling process.

In the video, which was filmed by the police during an operation in February, the officer in Batman’s clothes can be seen running along the Westminster Bridge wearing the traditional mask of the character, which is surrounded by Robin in a costume similar to the comic book and a bucket hat.

Batman, whose real name, Inspector Darren Watson, pushed a crowd of tourists who watched the suspect’s game, surrounded by Robin, who was played by the police, Constable Abdel Othman.

The husband arrested one man, registered his hands and seized the “cup and ball game”. In the game, the operator puts a ball under one of three cups, disrupts them around it, then encourages passers -by on the place where the ball is hidden. But the police, the game run by the detained man, was forged: it was impossible to win because the operator would transfer the ball using light hand.

Report 2017 In the fraud carried out by the Metropolitan police, the victims in London were “mostly tourists”, because they target the money that can be eliminated and “unaware of gambling gambling in the streets in the United Kingdom, and the naivety to the fraudsters who run the games.”

The report added that some of the game operators use complicit people to inspire confidence in the goals by appearing to bet on the game and win.

The police said that its last operation, on February 15, was part of a broader campaign against the illegal gambling on the Westminster Bridge, which runs between the homes of Parliament and the housing attractions in the region, including the Staff Basin in London.

The gambling is largely organized in Britain, and operators must keep an official license to take legal stakes legally from the public. In the center of Westminster and other regions in the popular London for tourists, licenses should also be obtained by street and construction artists, who can only perform in the specific areas.

Although super fashion is not common in the area, the police said that their officers began to wear camouflage because they became well known to people who run on the bridge fraud.

“I knew that if we would be arrested, we would have to think outside the box,” said Inspector Watson, who is in charge of the local police in the area. “Then I remembered that I have Batman and Robin’s fashion for delivery, which can be used.”

He added: “Although wearing clothes may not be the most traditional way for the police, we felt overwhelmed to see that in this case he was working perfectly and the team was able to get some wonderful results, and these people took from the street and protect tourists and the London residents from beating.”

Two men were finally been arrested on suspicion of providing a brokers on February 15. Both were condemned later.
