Little Known Yet About Actual Motive...

While there is not much yet to be heard to indicate what (at least) two lunatics were up to, Sussex Police have two arrests in the multi-day shutdown of Gatwick airport that inconvenienced thousands, cost millions and cast a pall over a growing and potentially vital segment of the aviation world.

Superintendent James Collis reported to the media, that, “As part of our ongoing investigations into the criminal use of drones which has severely disrupted flights in and out of Gatwick Airport, Sussex Police made two arrests just after 2200 on 21 December.

“Our investigations are still on-going, 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 enquiry will remain open to us until we are confident that we have mitigated further threats to the safety of passengers...”

The investigation remains ongoing, additional arrests are expected, and we have a feeling that the actual details are likely to prove to be controversial... More info to follow.
