Two Individuals Accused Regarding Heathrow Alleged Pepper Spray Incident
Formal charges have been brought against two men in connection with a suitcase robbery where a believed to be irritant spray resulted in harm at the UK's busiest 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.
The charges follow an probe of an assault at the parking structure at Terminal 3 on the weekend. Earlier that day, two women were robbed of their suitcases taken after getting out of a parking garage elevator, police said.
A young child was one of the people hurt in the event. Five people went to hospital for treatment and were subsequently released.
This event â described by police as was not part of a series and not considered a terror-related act â resulted in train delays and the temporary blocking of the Central Terminal Area tunnel and the T3 parking area for a limited duration.
