Two metropolitan police officers went viral as Batman and went viral to serve justice at Robin Westminster Bridge. Inspector Darren Watson and Police Constable Abdi Usman donated superhero organizations to deal with an illegal gambling racket at the popular tourist destination, where visitors are often cheated.
According to the Met Police, illegal gamble gangs tourists are known as ‘Three Cups Challenge’ or ‘Shell Game’. However, since most of these individuals knew the authorities, due to frequent crimes, Mr. Watson had to come with a creative idea to give ‘vengeance’.
“We know that two repeat criminals are working on the Westminster Bridge and have come to recognize me and my team with our patrol,” Mr. Watson said.
He said, “I knew that if we are going to catch them, we would think outside the box, and then I remembered that I have Batman and Robin costumes that could be used,” he said.
On 15 February, the pair donated to their respective organizations and made a dash for criminals and managed to arrest Uzen Stocy and Cantica-Roarge Baru to provide facilities to the gamblers. While Barbu was convicted in the Croidon Magistrate Court and was fined Rs 1.03 lakh (925 pounds), Stoco was convicted in the absence in the Westminster Magistrate Court. A warrant is out for his arrest.
