Two Individuals Accused Regarding Heathrow ‘Pepper Spray’ Attack
Formal charges have been brought against two men in connection with a suitcase robbery where a substance thought to be pepper spray caused injuries at the major London air hub.
Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, now face two counts of robbery and charges for using a harmful chemical, authorities have stated.
This legal action stems from an investigation into an assault at the multi-storey car park at Heathrow's Terminal Three on Sunday. Earlier that day, two women were robbed of their luggage stolen after exiting a car park lift, authorities reported.
A toddler was among those injured in the event. Five people required hospital care and were eventually allowed to go home.
This event – described by police as was isolated and not considered a terror-related act – resulted in train delays and the partial closure of the Central Terminal Area tunnel and the Terminal 3 car park for a short time.
