Two Charged Regarding Heathrow Alleged Pepper Spray Attack
Formal charges have been brought against two men related to a luggage theft where a believed to be irritant spray resulted in harm at London's Heathrow Airport.
Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, have both been charged with two robbery charges and charges for administering a noxious substance, authorities have stated.
These accusations come after an probe of an assault at the parking structure at Terminal 3 on the weekend. Prior to the attack, two female travelers had their suitcases stolen after exiting a parking garage elevator, according to law enforcement.
A three-year-old girl was one of the people hurt in the event. A total of five individuals required hospital care and were later discharged.
The incident – described by police as was isolated and not being treated as terrorism – resulted in disruptions to rail services and the temporary blocking of the main airport road tunnel and the Terminal 3 car park for a brief period.
