Two Charged Regarding Heathrow ‘Pepper Spray’ Attack

Formal charges have been brought against two men following a luggage theft where a suspected pepper 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 administering a noxious substance, according to official statements.

The charges follow an investigation into an attack at the multi-storey car park at Heathrow's Terminal Three on the weekend. Before the assault occurred, two women were robbed of their suitcases taken after getting out of a parking garage elevator, police said.

A toddler was one of the people hurt during the incident. A total of five individuals were taken to a medical facility and were eventually allowed to go home.

This event – described by police as was not part of a series and not considered a terror-related act – led to disruptions to rail services and the partial closure of the main airport road tunnel and the T3 parking area for a brief period.
