Two Men Face Charges In Connection With Heathrow ‘Pepper Spray’ Attack
Two individuals are now facing charges in connection with a luggage theft where a believed to be capsaicin spray caused injuries at London's Heathrow Airport.
Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, have both been charged with two robbery charges and two counts of using a harmful chemical, according to official statements.
This legal action stems from an investigation into an assault at the multi-storey car park at Terminal 3 on the weekend. Earlier that day, two women were robbed of their suitcases taken after exiting a car park lift, authorities reported.
A toddler was one of the people hurt in the event. Five people were taken to a medical facility and were subsequently released.
This event – described by police as was not part of a series and not considered a terror-related act – caused disruptions to rail services and the temporary blocking of the Central Terminal Area tunnel and the Terminal 3 car park for a brief period.
