Two more people have been arrested related to a theft at Heathrow Airport where over twenty individuals were injured by what is thought to be an irritant spray, as stated by law enforcement.
A 24-year-old man, was arrested in Lambeth for suspected theft and assault and a woman, 23 was detained on suspicion of conspiracy to commit robbery. They both are still being held, the force said.
The arrests come after an investigation into an attack at the multi-storey car park at Terminal 3 this past Sunday. Prior to the attack, two women were robbed of their suitcases upon exiting a car park lift.
A three-year-old girl was among the injured in the event. A total of five individuals went to hospital for treatment and were later released.
Officers detained a man in his thirties on suspicion of robbery and assault near the scene. He has since been released under investigation while inquiries continue.
Authorities were alerted at approximately 08:10 GMT following reports of a number of people hurt by a noxious substance believed to be an irritant spray.
The attack - which authorities stated was isolated and not being treated as terrorism - resulted in train delays and the partial closure of the main airport tunnel and the Terminal 3 car park for a short time.
