Football louts stopped at airport

More than 230 flights to Germany have been checked at the airport

Police at Gatwick Airport have stopped 10 known hooligans from travelling to Germany for the World Cup.

Since the start of the tournament on 9 June, Sussex Police have completed 500 spot checks as part of a national campaign to stop offenders travelling.

More than 230 flights have also been checked as part of Operation Jardon.

Ch Insp John Dunkling said the aim of the initiative had been to make the tournament "safe and trouble free" and for Gatwick to remain safe and secure.

England play their next game on Saturday when they face Portugal in the quarter-finals.
