Two Charged Regarding Heathrow Alleged Pepper Spray Attack

Formal charges have been brought against two men following a suitcase robbery where a substance thought to be irritant spray caused injuries at the UK's busiest airport.

Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, are accused of two counts of robbery and charges for using a harmful chemical, as confirmed by court officials.

The charges follow an probe of an assault at the parking structure at Heathrow's Terminal Three on Sunday. Before the assault occurred, two women were robbed of their suitcases stolen after getting out of a car park lift, according to law enforcement.

A three-year-old girl was among those injured in the event. Five people were taken to a medical facility and were later discharged.

This event – described by police as was not part of a series and deemed non-terroristic – caused train delays and the temporary blocking of the main airport road tunnel and the T3 parking area for a brief period.
