- BY GERARD COUZENS

A BRITISH father and son on holiday in Spain face a fine of up to £540,000 after being accused of shining laser lights at planes landing at Malaga Airport.

An off-duty police officer staying at the same hotel as the pair raised the alarm after seeing them use the green lasers in the Bajondillo area of Torremolin­os.

At least three pilots complained of being targeted with lasers on Tuesday night.

Spanish police said: “Two green laser pointers were confiscate­d.”

It is not known where in the UK the unnamed dad, 41, and his son, 15, live.

They were not arrested but have been told to expect a fine of between £27,000 and £540,000.

Their current whereabout­s are unknown.
