A DUBLIN airport worker sparked an alert when she brought three replica guns through security - so she could dress up as Tomb Raider Lara Croft.

The Irish Mirror has established the worker brought in two replica pistols and a fake shotgun through a hi-tech scanner and got airside.

A source said: "They should have been spotted but weren't.

"They were in a bag as they went through the scanner and would have shown up on the screen, but nobody spotted them." The alarm was only raised when a passenger in an airside shop where the woman was dressed as Lara Croft the heroine of the Tomb Raider computer game alerted Airport Police.
