Two Individuals Accused Regarding Heathrow Alleged Pepper Spray Incident
Two individuals are now facing charges in connection with a luggage theft where a suspected pepper spray caused injuries at the major London air hub.
Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, have both been charged with two counts of robbery and charges for using a harmful chemical, authorities have stated.
This legal action stems from an investigation into an attack at the multi-storey car park at Terminal 3 on Sunday. Earlier that day, two women were robbed of their suitcases taken after getting out of a car park lift, police said.
A toddler was among those injured in the event. Five people went to hospital for treatment and were later discharged.
The incident – described by police as was a standalone event and not considered a terror-related act – resulted in train delays and the partial closure of the main airport road tunnel and the Terminal 3 car park for a brief period.
