Two Individuals Accused In Connection With Heathrow Alleged Pepper Spray Attack
Two individuals are now facing charges related to a luggage theft where a substance thought to be irritant spray caused injuries at the UK's busiest airport.
Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, now face two counts of robbery and two counts of deploying a toxic agent, authorities have stated.
The charges follow an investigation into an assault at the parking structure at Terminal 3 on the weekend. Before the assault occurred, two women were robbed of their suitcases taken after exiting a car park lift, according to law enforcement.
A toddler was one of the people hurt during the incident. Five people required hospital care and were subsequently released.
This event â described by police as was isolated and not considered a terror-related act â resulted in train delays and the partial closure of the main airport road tunnel and the T3 parking area for a brief period.
