Two Individuals Accused In Connection With Heathrow Alleged Pepper Spray Assault
Two men have been charged in connection with a suitcase robbery where a believed to be capsaicin spray resulted in harm at the UK's busiest 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.
This legal action stems from an investigation into an assault at the parking structure at Heathrow's Terminal Three on Sunday. Before the assault occurred, two female travelers had their luggage taken after exiting a parking garage elevator, police said.
A toddler was among those injured during the incident. Several persons were taken to a medical facility and were subsequently released.
This event – which authorities stated was a standalone event and deemed non-terroristic – caused disruptions to rail services and the temporary blocking of the Central Terminal Area tunnel and the Terminal 3 car park for a brief period.
