| [Telegraph] A man and a woman have been arrested in connection with the "criminal use of drones" which sparked chaos for three days at Gatwick Airport. The arrests came as passengers braced for further disruption while the airport tried to recover from the turmoil. Sussex Police said the people were arrested in the Gatwick area just after 10pm on Friday night. Superintendent James Collis of Sussex Police said: "Our investigations are still ongoing, and our activities at the airport continue to build resilience to detect and mitigate further incursions from drones by deploying a range of tactics. "We continue to urge the public, passengers and the wider community around Gatwick to be vigilant and support us by contacting us immediately if they believe they have any information that can help us in bringing those responsible to justice. "The arrests we have made this evening are a result of our determination to keep the public safe from harm, every line of inquiry will remain open to us until we are confident that we have mitigated further threats to the safety of passengers." |
