A teenager was returned to his parents' house in Strood, Kent after shining a flashlight at a police helicopter which although wasn't a serious danger to the aircraft or the officers aboard, it did distract them from carrying out their job.
A 17-year-old was detained by police on suspicion of distracting officers from the lawful execution of their duty in Rochester High Street at 11.30pm on Saturday.
The helicopter was helping with enquiries into reports of a burglary in Wainscott.
The boy, who is from Strood was found with a copy of the video game GTA V and when he was returned home the officers told his parents that it was "probably" the video game that was causing his criminal behaviour and they should take it off him before he progresses to even more serious crime such as shining flashlights at passenger jets.
