Police operation to target football thugs
12.05.10
Police officers will run a special operation at Southampton Airport to prevent known football thugs making their way to the World Cup. The airport has key routes to ‘hub’ airports in Europe including Amsterdam, Paris and Frankfurt, where football hooligans can then transfer to flights to South Africa.
The operation, staffed by football intelligence and football legislation officers from Hampshire, is being carried out after a request by national officials in the UK Football Policing Unit. Using the Football Spectators Act, they will stop and arrest anyone suspected of travelling intent on causing trouble.
