Batman and Robin swoop in on con artists targeting tourists in London

They're used to fighting the likes of Joker, Riddler and and the Penguin, but Batman and Robin have left Gotham City and set their sights on criminals in London.

LONDON — They're used to fighting the likes of Joker, Riddler and the Penguin, but Batman and Robin have left Gotham City and set their sights on a new breed of criminal on the streets of Britain's capital.

Instead of hunting down high-profile masterminds, the iconic crimefighting duo set their sights low-level scammers swindling unsuspecting tourists in a classic high-street hustle.

Footage shared by the London Metropolitan Police captured undercover officers, dressed as the Dark Knight and his trusty sidekick, swooping into action on the city's Westminster Bridge.

Donning Batman’s signature cape and cowl, Inspector Darren Watson weaved through crowds of tourists before tackling a man running a fraudulent shell game akin to the notorious “three-card monte” hustle.

The classic con sees scammers shuffle cups or cards before luring victims into betting on the wrong one.
