Two Individuals Accused In Connection With Heathrow ‘Pepper Spray’ Incident
Two individuals are now facing charges following a luggage theft where a believed to be irritant 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, according to official statements.
This legal action stems from an probe of an attack at the parking structure at Heathrow's Terminal Three on the weekend. Prior to the attack, two women were robbed of their suitcases taken after getting out of a car park lift, according to law enforcement.
A young child was caught up in the incident during the incident. A total of five individuals went to hospital for treatment and were later discharged.
The incident – described by police as was isolated and not considered a terror-related act – resulted in disruptions to rail services and the partial closure of the Central Terminal Area tunnel and the Terminal 3 car park for a short time.
