A Dublin Airport worker sparked an alert when she brought three replica guns through security – so she could dress up as Tomb Raider Lara Croft.
Dublin Live has established the worker brought in two replica pistols and a fake shotgun through a hi-tech scanner and got airside. A source said: “They should have been spotted but weren’t. They were in a bag as they went through the scanner and would have shown up on the screen, but nobody spotted them.”
The alarm was only raised when a passenger in an airside shop where the woman was dressed as Lara Croft – the heroine of the Tomb Raider computer game – alerted Airport Police. Two officers went to the outlet just after 1pm on October 30 confiscated all the replicas.
