London airport open, but

drone culprit still up in air

LONDON — London’s Gatwick Airport was operating with-

out problems Sunday, but the fugitive drone operators who
brought incoming and outgoing flights to a standstill over
multiple days remained at large — and a potential threat —
after police cleared two local residents who were arrested as
suspects.
Sussex Police were hopeful they had halted the disruptive
and costly drone incursions during one of the heaviest travel
periods of the year with Friday’s arrests of a couple who live
near the airport. But they were released Sunday, and police said
they were no longer suspects.
