Two Individuals Accused In Connection With Heathrow ‘Pepper Spray’ Assault
Formal charges have been brought against two men related to a suitcase robbery where a believed to be irritant spray led to people being hurt at London's Heathrow Airport.
Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, are accused of two robbery charges and two counts of administering a noxious substance, according to official statements.
This legal action stems from an investigation into an attack at the parking structure at Heathrow's Terminal Three on Sunday. Before the assault occurred, two women were robbed of their suitcases stolen after exiting a car park lift, according to law enforcement.
A young child was among those injured during the incident. Five people required hospital care and were subsequently released.
The incident – described by police as was isolated and deemed non-terroristic – caused train delays and the temporary blocking of the main airport road tunnel and the T3 parking area for a short time.
