Gatwick Airport, United Kingdom — Two people were arrested in connection with the “criminal use of drones” at London Gatwick Airport, police said Saturday, after three days of disruption affected tens of thousands of passengers during the pre-Christmas getaway. Flights resumed on Friday after a new drone sighting briefly forced planes to be grounded as a “precautionary measure”, a Gatwick spokesman said. “We will do what we can to take that drone out of the sky and remove that disruption,” he said. Sussex Police Assistant Chief Constable Steve Barry said officers were working on the theory there was more than one drone. Before Friday’s sighting at 5:10 p.m. (1710 GMT), a drone had last been spotted at around 10:00 p.m. (2200 GMT) on Thursday.
