Police believe a laser pointed at a plane approaching Luton Airport last week may have come from the Hitchin area.
At 8.45pm on Thursday, February 21, a laser was pointed at a plane approaching the airport, with police believing it may have been in the Hitchin area.
In a Neighbourhood Watch email, Police Community Support Officer Alex Bridge said: “We wanted to make everyone aware that this is an offence, it can interfere with the pilot’s vision and put the passengers and the pilot at risk.”
