Two Charged Regarding Heathrow Alleged Pepper Spray Attack
Two men have been charged in connection with a luggage theft where a believed to be pepper 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 administering a noxious substance, as confirmed by court officials.
This legal action stems from an probe of an attack at the multi-storey car park at Heathrow's Terminal Three on the weekend. Earlier that day, two women were robbed of their suitcases taken after exiting a car park lift, authorities reported.
A three-year-old girl was among those injured during the incident. Several persons went to hospital for treatment and were later discharged.
The incident – which authorities stated was a standalone event and not considered a terror-related act – resulted in train delays and the partial closure of the Central Terminal Area tunnel and the T3 parking area for a brief period.
