Two Men Face Charges Regarding Heathrow Alleged Pepper Spray Incident
Two individuals are now facing charges related to a luggage theft where a suspected pepper spray resulted in harm at London's Heathrow Airport.
Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, now face two counts of robbery and charges for using a harmful chemical, according to official statements.
The charges follow an investigation into an assault at the multi-storey car park at Terminal 3 on the weekend. Prior to the attack, two women were robbed of their luggage stolen after getting out of a car park lift, according to law enforcement.
A toddler was among those injured during the incident. Five people required hospital care and were later discharged.
The incident – described by police as was not part of a series and not considered a terror-related act – caused train delays and the temporary blocking of the main airport road tunnel and the T3 parking area for a short time.
