THE PILOT of a small aircraft was dazzled by a green laser pen as he flew his plane over Droitwich.
The incident happened about 6.15pm on Friday (December 11) when the beam of light was directed straight into the cockpit of the plane.
Fortunately, he remained in control of the aircraft and continued on his journey but, police say, it could have been a lot worse.
He later landed the aircraft safely at Wellsbourne Airfield.
Officers investigating the incident want to hear from anyone who was in Home Piece or Wey Close on Friday evening who may have seen something.
Sgt Dave Knight, of Droitwich Police, said: “I’m particularly interested in anyone locally who has been selling these kind of laser pens.”
And he added that, whilst some of laser pens or pointers were legal, there were some which were against the law.
Witnesses or anyone with any information on this incident or on the sale of laser pens in Droitwich should call police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
