Not the usual suspects. Update to this story.
Via Daily Mail:
A model plane enthusiast and his 54-year-old wife have been revealed as the suspects arrested over the Gatwick Airport drone mayhem – but his boss claims he was working and could not have been the culprit.
Forensic squads had been searching a van outside window-fitter Paul Gait, 47, and his wife Elaine Kirk’s home but the probe was thrown into confusion as Mr Gait’s boss John Allard vouched for him and said he was at work.
Mr Allard, who runs a double glazing firm in Crowborough, said he could ‘account for Paul’s movements between the hours of 7am and 5pm last Monday to Friday’.
The 47-year-old suspect had been ‘part of a three-man team fitting glass doors and windows in the Crowborough area’, his employer said.
The couple were arrested in Crawley, the West Sussex town where they live and which has previously been a battleground for environmental groups opposing the expansion of the airport.
