Peel Regional Police said two female suspects have been arrested. In a statement from Sunwing, spokesperson Janine Chapman says the two "unruly" passengers allegedly became disruptive after they had "consumed a significant quantity of their duty free alcohol in the plane's lavatory." This was the second time in just over a month that a plane travelling from Toronto has been forced to turn back.
