Two more people have been arrested in connection with a theft at Heathrow Airport where over twenty individuals sustained injuries by what is thought to be an irritant spray, as stated by law enforcement.
A 24-year-old man, was taken into custody in the Lambeth area for suspected theft and assault and a woman, 23 was detained for suspected conspiring to commit a robbery. They both are still being held, the force said.
These detentions come after an investigation into an attack at the multi-level parking garage at Heathrow's Terminal 3 on Sunday. Prior to the incident, two women were robbed of their luggage upon exiting a car park lift.
A toddler aged three was one of the injured in the event. A total of five individuals went to hospital for treatment and were later discharged.
Officers detained a man in his thirties on suspicion of theft and assault near the location. He was subsequently released pending further inquiries while inquiries continue.
Police were alerted at about 8:10 in the morning GMT following reports of several individuals hurt by an irritating chemical believed to be an irritant spray.
The assault - an event that police said was a standalone incident and not considered an act of terror - resulted in delays to rail services and the temporary shutdown of the main airport tunnel and the Terminal 3 car park for a short time.
