Two Men Face Charges In Connection With Heathrow ‘Pepper Spray’ Assault
Two individuals are now facing charges following a suitcase robbery where a believed to be pepper spray led to people being hurt at the UK's busiest airport.
Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, are accused of two counts of robbery and charges for using a harmful chemical, according to official statements.
The charges follow an probe of an assault at the parking structure at Terminal 3 on Sunday. Prior to the attack, two female travelers had their luggage taken after getting out of a parking garage elevator, police said.
A toddler was caught up in the incident during the incident. Five people were taken to a medical facility and were subsequently released.
This event – which authorities stated was not part of a series and deemed non-terroristic – resulted in train delays and the temporary blocking of the Central Terminal Area tunnel and the Terminal 3 car park for a short time.
