Two teenagers have been arrested after a laser pen was “recklessly” shined at police helicopter crew and planes flying over Liverpool.
Officers from a National Police Air Service (NPAS) helicopter said its aircraft was targeted by a green laser from an address in the city’s West Derby area at about midnight on Thursday.
Later on, air traffic control at Liverpool John Lennon Airport said flights had also been targeted.
Two boys aged 16 and 13 were held at a property on Haydn Road, Merseyside Police said.
