Two Men Face Charges Over Heathrow Alleged Pepper Spray Incident
Formal charges have been brought against two men following a suitcase robbery where a suspected irritant spray resulted in harm at London's Heathrow Airport.
Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, now face two robbery charges and charges for administering a noxious substance, according to official statements.
This legal action stems from an probe of an attack at the multi-storey car park at Terminal 3 on Sunday. Earlier that day, two women were robbed of their luggage stolen after getting out of a car park lift, authorities reported.
A young child was caught up in the incident in the event. Five people required hospital care and were later discharged.
This event – described by police as was a standalone event and not considered a terror-related act – caused train delays and the temporary blocking of the main airport road tunnel and the Terminal 3 car park for a brief period.
