Two Men Face Charges Regarding Heathrow Alleged Pepper Spray Assault
Formal charges have been brought against two men related to a suitcase robbery where a substance thought to be pepper spray caused injuries at London's Heathrow Airport.
Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, now face two counts of robbery and charges for administering a noxious substance, authorities have stated.
These accusations come after an investigation into an attack at the multi-storey car park at Heathrow's Terminal Three on Sunday. Prior to the attack, two female travelers had their suitcases stolen after getting out of a parking garage elevator, according to law enforcement.
A toddler was among those injured in the event. A total of five individuals went to hospital for treatment and were eventually allowed to go home.
The incident – described by police as was isolated and not being treated as terrorism – led to disruptions to rail services and the temporary blocking of the Central Terminal Area tunnel and the T3 parking area for a brief period.
