All Black arrested near airport

New Zealand rugby player Doug Howlett has been arrested on suspicion of criminal damage.

Police were called to a disturbance outside Heathrow Airport's Hilton Hotel at 0300 BST on Tuesday.

Officers arrested the 29-year-old All Black player on suspicion of criminal damage on two cars.

A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "Mr Howlett was taken to Heathrow police station and bailed to reappear pending further inquiries."

The New Zealand wing is the all-time record try scorer for the All Blacks, with 49 tries.

The rugby player will join the Irish team Munster in January next year for a two-and-a-half year contract.
