Two more people are now in custody in connection with a robbery at Heathrow Airport where over twenty individuals sustained injuries by a substance believed to be an irritant spray, according to law enforcement.
A man, 24, was arrested in the Lambeth area for suspected robbery and assault and a woman, 23 was detained on suspicion of conspiracy to commit robbery. They both remain in custody, authorities confirmed.
These detentions follow an investigation into an assault at the multi-level parking garage at Terminal 3 on Sunday. Before the attack, a pair of female travelers were robbed of their luggage upon exiting a car park lift.
A toddler aged three was one of the those hurt in the event. Five people were taken to the hospital for treatment and were later released.
Officers detained a man in his thirties on suspicion of robbery and assault close to the scene. He has since been released pending further inquiries as the investigation proceeds.
Police were called at approximately 8:10 in the morning GMT following reports of several individuals injured by an irritating chemical believed to be pepper spray.
The assault - an event that police said was isolated and not considered terrorism - resulted in train delays and the partial closure of the main airport tunnel and the T3 car park briefly.
