Two Charged In Connection With Heathrow ‘Pepper Spray’ Incident
Two individuals are now facing charges related to a suitcase robbery where a substance thought to be pepper spray caused injuries at London's Heathrow Airport.
Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, now face two counts of robbery and two counts of administering a noxious substance, according to official statements.
This legal action stems from an investigation into an attack at the multi-storey car park at Heathrow's Terminal Three on Sunday. Earlier that day, two female travelers had their luggage taken after exiting a car park lift, according to law enforcement.
A toddler was among those injured in the event. Five people were taken to a medical facility and were later discharged.
The incident – which authorities stated was a standalone event and not considered a terror-related act – resulted in train delays and the temporary blocking of the Central Terminal Area tunnel and the Terminal 3 car park for a brief period.
