Police investigation underway after a 12-year-old boy slipped past security and boarded a plane headed from London to Los Angeles despite not having a ticket.

A police investigation is underway at Heathrow, London’s biggest airport, after a 12-year-old boy managed to slip past security and board a plane headed to Los Angeles despite not having a ticket.

“He was identified by cabin crew during pre-flight check. He did not have a ticket or any travel documents," a spokesman for Scotland Yard said."The boy was an unaccompanied minor. He is not a UK national. As a security precaution, passenger de-planed following a discussion between police and the captain. The child is believed to have arrived at Heathrow as a transit passenger.”

“So I survived my six hour wait at Heathrow but am now delayed on the tarmac because a young boy made his way onto our plane – BA269 – without a ticket," she tweeted."Big security breach. So much fun for everyone on board. We were meant to take off at 4.15pm. It’s nearly 6pm.” Passengers reported that the entire plane was screened by security again after the breach. The plane took off five hours after its original departure time.

PeachyKeenWit Is the kiddo safe? Did he make it home? Or to the proper destination? Was he lost!? 🥺 The mom in me is panicking.

LAPTOPS OUT! EMPTY POCKETS! SHOES OFF! the kid is OK though.. SHOES OUT! JACKETS! NO LIQUIDS, EMPTY POCKETS!

But I'm sure he took his shoes off going through the security and didn't violate the 3-1-1 rule for his carry on luggage!

He might be a son of Osama bin Laden, getting training for a revenge attack the USA in future.

Legend.

HTown63840180 Yet we are supposed to have faith that they have good security so nothing bad happens like it did............ the flight attendant that was working the door should be fired for failure to perform job duties(I.e. check tickets 🎫)

😟

no security? Scary

👍
