Two Men Face Charges In Connection With Heathrow Alleged Pepper Spray Incident
Formal charges have been brought against two men following a suitcase robbery 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 two counts of using a harmful chemical, authorities have stated.
This legal action stems from an probe of an assault at the parking structure at Terminal 3 on Sunday. Before the assault occurred, two female travelers had their suitcases taken after exiting a car park lift, according to law enforcement.
A young child was caught up in the incident during the incident. A total of five individuals were taken to a medical facility and were subsequently released.
This event – described by police as was not part of a series and not being treated as terrorism – caused disruptions to rail services and the temporary blocking of the Central Terminal Area tunnel and the T3 parking area for a limited duration.
