Two Charged In Connection With Heathrow Alleged Pepper Spray Attack
Formal charges have been brought against two men related to a luggage theft where a suspected pepper 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 charges for using a harmful chemical, authorities have stated.
These accusations come after an investigation into an assault at the multi-storey car park at Terminal 3 on the weekend. Prior to the attack, two female travelers had their luggage taken after exiting a parking garage elevator, according to law enforcement.
A young child was one of the people hurt during the incident. Several persons required hospital care and were subsequently released.
This event – described by police as was isolated and not considered a terror-related act – led to disruptions to rail services and the partial closure of the Central Terminal Area tunnel and the T3 parking area for a short time.
