Two more people have been arrested related to a theft at London's Heathrow Airport where 21 people sustained injuries by a substance believed to be an irritant spray, according to police.
A man, 24, was arrested in the Lambeth area on suspicion of theft and assault and a woman, 23 was arrested for suspected conspiracy to commit robbery. They both remain in custody, the force said.
These detentions come after an investigation into an attack at the multi-level parking garage at Terminal 3 this past Sunday. Before the incident, a pair of female travelers had stolen from them their suitcases upon exiting a parking garage elevator.
A three-year-old girl was one of the injured during the incident. Five people went to hospital for treatment and have since been released.
Officers arrested a man in his thirties for suspected robbery and assault close to the scene. He has since been released pending further inquiries while inquiries continue.
Police were alerted at about 08:10 GMT following reports of several individuals hurt by an irritating chemical thought 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 T3 car park for a short time.
