Two more people have been arrested in connection with a suitcase robbery in which pepper spray caused injuries at Heathrow Airport, the Met Police has said.
A man, 24, was arrested in Lambeth on suspicion of robbery and assault and a woman, 23, was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit robbery. They both remain in custody, the force said.
The arrests follow an investigation into an assault at the multi-storey car park at Terminal 3 on Sunday. Prior to the attack, two women were robbed of their suitcases after getting out of a car park lift.
A three-year-old girl was among 21 people injured during the incident. Five people went to hospital for treatment and have since been discharged.
Police were called at about 08:10 GMT following reports of a number of people injured by a noxious substance believed to be pepper spray.
The assault – which the Met said was isolated and not being treated as terrorism – resulted in train delays and the partial closure of the Central Terminal Area tunnel and the Terminal 3 car park for a short time.
