Reporting from Heathrow Airport
Traffic heading into Heathrow Terminal 2 & 3 has ground to a halt, with police blocking the roads and no clear information for drivers.
Some passengers, anxious about missing their flights, have started getting out of cars and taxis and walking up the road with their luggage, even past signs warning “no pedestrians beyond this point.”
Officers are stopping them and sending people back, telling passengers to stay in their vehicles while they deal with the incident.
Images also show the police conducting vehicle searches. A Met Police statement published earlier this morning says that “enquiries continue to trace further suspects”.
