An additional two individuals have been arrested related to a theft at Heathrow Airport in which 21 people were injured by a substance believed to be pepper spray, as stated by police.
A 24-year-old man, was arrested in the Lambeth area for suspected theft and assault and a woman, 23 was detained on suspicion of conspiring to commit a robbery. Both individuals remain in custody, authorities confirmed.
The arrests come after an investigation into an attack at the multi-storey car park at Terminal 3 on Sunday. Before the attack, two women were robbed of their luggage upon exiting a parking garage elevator.
A three-year-old girl was among the those hurt in the event. Five people were taken to the hospital for medical care and have since been released.
Officers arrested a man in his thirties for suspected robbery and assault near the scene. He was subsequently released pending further inquiries as the investigation proceeds.
Authorities were alerted at approximately 08:10 GMT following reports of a number of individuals injured by an irritating chemical believed to be an irritant spray.
The attack - which authorities stated was isolated and not considered an act of terror - caused train delays and the temporary shutdown of the main airport tunnel and the T3 car park briefly.
