Two Charged In Connection With Heathrow Alleged Pepper Spray Attack
Two individuals are now facing charges following a luggage theft where a suspected pepper spray caused injuries at the major London air hub.
Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, are accused of two robbery charges and charges for using a harmful chemical, as confirmed by court officials.
These accusations come after an probe of an attack at the parking structure at Terminal 3 on the weekend. Earlier that day, two female travelers had their luggage stolen after getting out of a parking garage elevator, according to law enforcement.
A young child was among those injured in the event. A total of five individuals were taken to a medical facility and were later discharged.
The incident – which authorities stated was isolated and deemed non-terroristic – caused train delays and the partial closure of the Central Terminal Area tunnel and the Terminal 3 car park for a limited duration.
