Two Individuals Accused Regarding Heathrow Alleged Pepper Spray Attack
Two individuals are now facing charges following a luggage theft where a suspected 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 deploying a toxic agent, according to official statements.
These accusations come after an investigation into an attack at the multi-storey car park at Heathrow's Terminal Three on the weekend. Prior to the attack, two female travelers had their suitcases taken after getting out of a parking garage elevator, police said.
A young child was among those injured in the event. Five people went to hospital for treatment and were eventually allowed to go home.
This event – described by police as was not part of a series and not being treated as terrorism – caused train delays and the temporary blocking of the main airport road tunnel and the T3 parking area for a short time.
