Two Charged Regarding Heathrow ‘Pepper Spray’ Attack
Two individuals are now facing charges related to a suitcase robbery where a suspected pepper spray caused injuries at London's Heathrow Airport.
Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, have both been charged with two counts of robbery and charges for using a harmful chemical, according to official statements.
The charges follow an investigation into an attack at the multi-storey car park at Terminal 3 on the weekend. Before the assault occurred, two women were robbed of their suitcases taken after exiting a car park lift, police said.
A toddler was among those injured in the event. Several persons required hospital care and were subsequently released.
The incident – described by police as was isolated and deemed non-terroristic – caused train delays and the partial closure of the Central Terminal Area tunnel and the T3 parking area for a limited duration.
