LONDON—British police have released without charge two people arrested in an inquiry into the illegal use of drones at London’s Gatwick Airport that crippled operations for three days last week.
Sussex Police arrested a 47-year-old man and a 54-year-old woman from the local area late on Dec. 21, after drones were flown onto the airfield between Dec. 19 and Dec. 21, forcing about 1,000 flights to be diverted or canceled and affecting 140,000 passengers.
