According the Keystone Cops of Sussex they’re no longer suspects.

Well they are officially "No longer suspects" so it isn't an issue. But if they aren't named whilst just arrested then there wouldn't be any need for compensation.

Didn't even own a drone and was at work during the incident. His boss rang the police but they never rang back
Did anyone see the front of the Mail this morning ? Pray they have good solicitors and absolutely cash in.

I would be really sad if the Mail got into trouble and sued lots because of that minor indiscretion - NOT!

This story gets weirder by the hour. Apparently they are now considering the possibility that there was no drone activity after all.

This.
"Police say it is 'a possibility there was never a drone'.."
...maybe it was with all the knuckle-dusters and knives?

That last line is a stunner. So because they were named in the press, they thought they'd better keep them in custody a bit longer even though they were not suspects.

There are various timelines online giving appearances and disappearances of the drone at specific times.
I recall a couple of times when it apparently "buzzed" the control tower, the second time allowing them to identify what drone it was.
The Copper suggests that they're dealing with what somebody has said they've seen. I would suggest that if the guys in the control tower didn't actually see a drone outside their window they shouldn't be in the control tower in the first place.
This has been a very strange series of events.

The two suspects were fortunate they were a married couple living together in an apparently stable relationship. The press must have been slightly disappointed and spent hours looking for cracks which hinted at something more sinister.
The tabloids would have had a field day if the suspect had been a single man who lived on his own like Colin Stagg or Christopher Jefferies and would have painting him as a 'weirdo", "loner", "oddball" or "creepy" to use some of the epithets most commonly employed by the tabloids in such circumstances. In that respect the couple got off relatively lightly.

Earlier today :
"A damaged drone found close to the airport on Saturday was being forensically examined, the force added."
I guess it could've been left there anytime. Or maybe it's just a rusty old bicycle in reality.

The whole thing seems to be getting more bizarre by the day. There were a few clips circulating of very obvious drones around what looked like Gatwick on certain news feeds......but surprisingly few given the supposed number of ‘sightings’ and the number of people that would have been looking for them. A poster on here said 30 people in his office were watching one at one point so doesn’t sound like they were mythical
