Two Individuals Accused In Connection With Heathrow ‘Pepper Spray’ Incident
Two men have been charged following a suitcase robbery where a believed to be pepper spray resulted in harm at London's Heathrow Airport.
Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, now face two robbery charges and charges for using a harmful chemical, according to official statements.
These accusations come after an probe of an attack at the multi-storey car park at Terminal 3 on Sunday. Prior to the attack, two female travelers had their luggage taken after getting out of a car park lift, police said.
A three-year-old girl was among those injured in the event. Several persons went to hospital for treatment and were eventually allowed to go home.
This event – described by police as was isolated and not considered a terror-related act – resulted in disruptions to rail services and the partial closure of the Central Terminal Area tunnel and the Terminal 3 car park for a brief period.
