Two Individuals Accused In Connection With Heathrow ‘Pepper Spray’ Attack
Formal charges have been brought against two men following a luggage theft where a substance thought to be pepper spray led to people being hurt at London's Heathrow Airport.
Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, now face two robbery charges and charges for deploying a toxic agent, as confirmed by court officials.
This legal action stems from an probe of an assault at the parking structure at Terminal 3 on the weekend. Before the assault occurred, two women were robbed of their suitcases stolen after getting out of a car park lift, according to law enforcement.
A young child was among those injured in the event. Five people required hospital care and were later discharged.
This event – described by police as was not part of a series and deemed non-terroristic – resulted in train delays and the partial closure of the Central Terminal Area tunnel and the Terminal 3 car park for a limited duration.
