Two Individuals Accused Regarding Heathrow ‘Pepper Spray’ Attack
Two men have been charged following a suitcase robbery where a substance thought to be irritant spray caused injuries at London's Heathrow Airport.
Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, are accused of two robbery charges and two counts of using a harmful chemical, as confirmed by court officials.
This legal action stems from an probe of an assault at the multi-storey car park at Terminal 3 on Sunday. Earlier that day, two women were robbed of their suitcases stolen after getting out of a car park lift, according to law enforcement.
A young child was among those injured during the incident. Several persons required hospital care and were eventually allowed to go home.
The incident – described by police as was not part of a series and not being treated as terrorism – resulted in train delays and the temporary blocking of the Central Terminal Area tunnel and the T3 parking area for a brief period.
