Four men are behind bars in England after forcing a plane bound for Las Vegas to make an emergency landing in Winnipeg.

Four men are behind bars in England after forcing a plane bound for Las Vegas to make an emergency landing in Winnipeg.

The men were sentenced Tuesday for behaviour the Greater Manchester Police described as “drunken and loutish” on the March 2018 flight.

Police said the men, who were on their way to a Vegas bachelor party, began drinking heavily, vaping on the plane, and intimidating other passengers and flight crew.

Eventually, the captain decided it was no longer safe to continue the flight, dropping 10,000 gallons of fuel in order to land safely in Winnipeg.

The four men were arrested by Mounties upon landing.
