Two more people are now in custody related to a theft at Heathrow Airport in which over twenty individuals sustained injuries by what is thought to be an irritant spray, according to police.
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 conspiracy to commit robbery. They both are still being held, authorities confirmed.
The arrests follow a probe into an assault at the multi-level parking garage at Heathrow's Terminal 3 this past Sunday. Before the incident, two women were robbed of their luggage upon exiting a parking garage elevator.
A three-year-old girl was among the those hurt during the incident. Five people went to hospital for treatment and were later released.
Police detained a 31-year-old man for suspected robbery and assault close to the location. He has since been released under investigation while inquiries continue.
Police were alerted at about 08:10 GMT after reports came in regarding several individuals hurt by a noxious substance believed to be an irritant spray.
The attack - an event that police said was isolated and not being treated as terrorism - caused delays to rail services and the partial closure of the Central Terminal Area tunnel and the T3 car park for a short time.
