The British Transport Police have used an image of a gang member from hit BBC series Line of Duty in a bid to recruit more people to the force.
The drama showed a criminal member of the fictional organised crime group (OCG) entering the police force in an apparent bid to inform the gang of operations.
The force insisted their recruitment process is much tougher than that portrayed in the hit TV series and used an image of cop-killer character Ryan Pilkington, who is played by actor Gregory Piper.
