Two Individuals Accused Over Heathrow ‘Pepper Spray’ Attack

Formal charges have been brought against two men related to a suitcase robbery where a believed to be pepper spray caused injuries at London's Heathrow Airport.

Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, have both been charged with two robbery charges and charges for using a harmful chemical, according to official statements.

These accusations come after an probe of an assault at the multi-storey car park at Terminal 3 on Sunday. Before the assault occurred, two female travelers had their suitcases stolen after exiting a parking garage elevator, police said.

A toddler was one of the people hurt during the incident. Several persons went to hospital for treatment and were subsequently released.

This event – which authorities stated was isolated and deemed non-terroristic – resulted in disruptions to rail services and the temporary blocking of the main airport road tunnel and the Terminal 3 car park for a limited duration.
