CUSTOMS and Excise officials are appealing for Bromley residents to be vigilant to beat smugglers.

The News Shopper reported last week Biggin Hill airport is a possible target for criminals bringing arms, drugs or people into the country.

Customs and Excise spokesman Nigel Knott said: "Often residents can spot abnormal activities better than anyone else, because they know the routine. If people give us information, however trivial, it could stop drugs entering the country."

Call Airwatch on 0800 595000.
