Two Individuals Accused In Connection With Heathrow Alleged Pepper Spray Incident
Two men have been charged in connection with a suitcase robbery where a suspected pepper spray resulted in harm at the major London air hub.
Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, now face two robbery charges and charges for using a harmful chemical, according to official statements.
The charges follow an probe of an assault at the multi-storey car park at Terminal 3 on the weekend. Earlier that day, two female travelers had their luggage taken after getting out of a car park lift, according to law enforcement.
A toddler was one of the people hurt in the event. A total of five individuals were taken to a medical facility and were later discharged.
The incident – described by police as was a standalone event and deemed non-terroristic – resulted in train delays and the partial closure of the Central Terminal Area tunnel and the T3 parking area for a brief period.
