Two Charged In Connection With Heathrow Alleged Pepper Spray Incident

Formal charges have been brought against two men following a suitcase robbery where a suspected pepper spray caused injuries 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.

This legal action stems from an probe of an attack at the multi-storey car park at Terminal 3 on Sunday. Before the assault occurred, two women were robbed of their luggage stolen after getting out of a parking garage elevator, police said.

A young child was one of the people hurt in the event. A total of five individuals required hospital care and were subsequently released.

The incident – described by police as was not part of a series and not considered a terror-related act – resulted in disruptions to rail services and the temporary blocking of the Central Terminal Area tunnel and the Terminal 3 car park for a brief period.
