A couple arrested over the Gatwick Airport drone chaos that halted flights have received £200,000 in compensation.
Armed police stormed the home of Paul and Elaine Gait in December 2018, and held them for 36 hours after drones caused the airport to close repeatedly.
The couple were released without charge, and sued Sussex Police for wrongful arrest and false imprisonment.
On Sunday, their legal team announced the force had agreed to an out-of-court settlement.
very strange episode. as far as I know noone was ever on record as having seen a drone
No-one has ever been charged, and police have said that some reported drone sightings may have been Sussex Police's own craft.
They really are fick aren’t they.
