Two Men Face Charges In Connection With Heathrow ‘Pepper Spray’ Attack
Two individuals are now facing charges related to a luggage theft where a substance thought to be pepper spray caused injuries at the UK's busiest airport.
Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, have both been charged with two counts of robbery and two counts of using a harmful chemical, according to official statements.
These accusations come after an investigation into an assault at the parking structure at Heathrow's Terminal Three on Sunday. Prior to the attack, two women were robbed of their luggage taken after getting out of a car park lift, authorities reported.
A three-year-old girl was one of the people hurt during the incident. Several persons went to hospital for treatment and were subsequently released.
This event – which authorities stated was a standalone event and deemed non-terroristic – caused train delays and the partial closure of the Central Terminal Area tunnel and the Terminal 3 car park for a limited duration.
