Two Men Face Charges In Connection With Heathrow Alleged Pepper Spray Attack
Two men have been charged related to a suitcase robbery where a believed to be capsaicin spray resulted in harm at London's Heathrow Airport.
Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, have both been charged with two counts of robbery and charges for administering a noxious substance, as confirmed by court officials.
This legal action stems from an probe of an attack at the parking structure at Heathrow's Terminal Three on the weekend. Prior to the attack, two women were robbed of their luggage taken after exiting a parking garage elevator, police said.
A young child was among those injured during the incident. A total of five individuals went to hospital for treatment and were eventually allowed to go home.
This event – which authorities stated was not part of a series and not considered a terror-related act – resulted in train delays and the temporary blocking of the main airport road tunnel and the Terminal 3 car park for a short time.
