🔗 Share this article A Pair of Detentions in the Aftermath of Heathrow ‘Pepper Spray’ Incident This incident resulted in the temporary closure of the Central Terminal Area tunnel and the Terminal 3 parking area. Two more people are now in custody in connection with a robbery at London's Heathrow Airport in which over twenty individuals were injured by what is thought to be pepper spray, as stated by police. A man, 24, was taken into custody in the Lambeth area on suspicion of theft and assault and a 23-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of conspiring to commit a robbery. Both individuals remain in custody, authorities confirmed. The arrests come after an investigation into an assault at the multi-storey car park at Terminal 3 on Sunday. Before the incident, a pair of female travelers had stolen from them their suitcases after getting out of a parking garage elevator. A toddler aged three was among the those hurt in the event. Five people went to hospital for treatment and were later released. Police arrested a 31-year-old man on suspicion of robbery and assault close to the location. He was subsequently released under investigation as the investigation proceeds. Police were called at about 8:10 in the morning GMT after reports came in regarding several people hurt by an irritating chemical thought to be pepper spray. The attack - an event that authorities stated was a standalone incident and not considered an act of terror - caused train delays and the temporary shutdown of the main airport tunnel and the Terminal 3 car park briefly.
