Two Individuals Accused Regarding Heathrow Alleged Pepper Spray Attack

Two men have been charged related to a luggage theft where a believed to be pepper spray led to people being hurt at the major London air hub.

Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, are accused of two robbery charges and charges for deploying a toxic agent, authorities have stated.

These accusations come after an probe of an assault at the multi-storey car park at Terminal 3 on Sunday. Before the assault occurred, two women were robbed of their luggage taken after getting out of a car park lift, police said.

A young child was one of the people hurt in the event. Several persons required hospital care and were eventually allowed to go home.

The incident – described by police as was isolated and not considered a terror-related act – caused train delays and the temporary blocking of the Central Terminal Area tunnel and the T3 parking area for a brief period.
