LONDON — British police said Saturday that two drones found near London’s Gatwick Airport were not involved in the disruption that shut down the busy airport just days before Christmas. The airport’s closure led to more than 100,000 people being stranded or delayed in the worst ever drone-related disruption at an international airport. Police had earlier revealed that one damaged drone had been found near the airfield and was being tested for DNA, fingerprints and other clues. Officials say there are no indications the incident was “terror related.”Officials have not disclosed what military equipment was put in place. British officials say they are able to deploy the equipment at other U.K. airports.
