Police investigating laser incident

Police are investigating after someone pointed a laser at a pair of commercial flights landing at Calgary International Airport.

They first received the reports at about 8:40 p.m. on Wednesday.

The pilots of both flights say someone pointed a blue laser into the cockpit.

Police were able to use the information from them to lead them to a location in Whitehorn.

Subsequent investigation has not found a suspect and police are now hoping the public will be able to help them locate who did it.

The person responsible could face federal charges.

At the beginning of August, police charged Michael Sanche, 19, after he allegedly flashed a laser light at the HAWCS2 police helicopter.

He was charged with assault causing bodily harm, mischief causing danger to life, common nuisance endangering life, and projection of a directed, bright-light source at an aircraft.

Police said that the laser device used in that incident was a Class 3, the second most dangerous type of device that emits laser light.
