Two Individuals Accused Over Heathrow Alleged Pepper Spray Assault
Two men have been charged following a suitcase robbery where a suspected pepper spray caused injuries at the UK's busiest airport.
Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, have both been charged with two robbery charges and charges for using a harmful chemical, as confirmed by court officials.
These accusations come after an probe of an attack at the parking structure at Terminal 3 on the weekend. Earlier that day, two female travelers had their luggage stolen after getting out of a car park lift, according to law enforcement.
A young child was caught up in the incident during the incident. Several persons went to hospital for treatment and were later discharged.
The incident – which authorities stated was not part of a series and not considered a terror-related act – resulted in train delays and the temporary blocking of the main airport road tunnel and the Terminal 3 car park for a brief period.
