Two Charged Regarding Heathrow ‘Pepper Spray’ Assault
Formal charges have been brought against two men following a suitcase robbery where a suspected capsaicin spray caused injuries at London's Heathrow Airport.
Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, are accused of two counts of robbery and two counts of 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 Terminal 3 on Sunday. Earlier that day, two women were robbed of their luggage stolen after exiting a parking garage elevator, police said.
A three-year-old girl was one of the people hurt during the incident. A total of five individuals were taken to a medical facility and were subsequently released.
The incident – described by police as was not part of a series and deemed non-terroristic – led to train delays and the partial closure of the Central Terminal Area tunnel and the T3 parking area for a brief period.
