Two Individuals Accused In Connection With Heathrow ‘Pepper Spray’ Incident
Formal charges have been brought against two men related to a luggage theft where a believed to be irritant spray caused injuries at London's Heathrow Airport.
Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, are accused of two robbery charges and charges for using a harmful chemical, according to official statements.
The charges follow an probe of an attack at the parking structure at Terminal 3 on Sunday. Before the assault occurred, two women were robbed of their suitcases taken after getting out of a car park lift, police said.
A three-year-old girl was one of the people hurt in the event. Several persons went to hospital for treatment and were eventually allowed to go home.
The incident – which authorities stated was not part of a series and deemed non-terroristic – resulted in train delays and the temporary blocking of the main airport road tunnel and the T3 parking area for a short time.
