Two Individuals Accused In Connection With Heathrow Alleged Pepper Spray Attack
Two individuals are now facing charges related to a suitcase robbery where a believed to be pepper spray caused injuries at the UK's busiest airport.
Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, have both been charged with two counts of robbery and charges for using a harmful chemical, authorities have stated.
These accusations come after an investigation into an attack at the multi-storey car park at Terminal 3 on Sunday. Before the assault occurred, two women were robbed of their luggage stolen after exiting a car park lift, according to law enforcement.
A toddler was caught up in the incident in the event. Five people were taken to a medical facility and were subsequently released.
The incident – described by police as was isolated and deemed non-terroristic – resulted in train delays and the partial closure of the main airport road tunnel and the T3 parking area for a brief period.
