Two Individuals Accused Regarding Heathrow ‘Pepper Spray’ Assault
Two men have been charged related to a luggage theft where a believed to be irritant spray resulted in harm at the major London air hub.
Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, are accused of two robbery charges and charges for administering a noxious substance, as confirmed by court officials.
This legal action stems from an investigation into an attack at the multi-storey car park 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, police said.
A young child was one of the people hurt during the incident. A total of five individuals were taken to a medical facility and were later discharged.
This event – described by police as was a standalone event and not being treated as terrorism – led to disruptions to rail services and the temporary blocking of the main airport road tunnel and the Terminal 3 car park for a brief period.
