A man holds up a bottle of beer to a police helicopter camera after he was caught shining a bright green LASER to dazzle the pilot. Reckless Chris Vowles was boozing with pals in the back garden of a house in Kitts Green, Birmingham when he targeted the National Police Air Service (NPAS) chopper.The 23-year-old shone a green laser beam at the helicopter in the early hours of July 31 this year -temporarily disorientating the pilot as the light bounced through the cabin. But the crew got their revenge when they used powerful thermal imaging cameras to locate the laser source to the garden party.
