Two Individuals Accused In Connection With Heathrow Alleged Pepper Spray Incident
Two men have been charged in connection with a luggage theft where a believed to be capsaicin 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 deploying a toxic agent, authorities have stated.
These accusations come after an investigation into an assault at the multi-storey car park at Heathrow's Terminal Three on Sunday. Before the assault occurred, two female travelers had their suitcases taken after exiting a car park lift, police said.
A three-year-old girl was among those injured during the incident. Several persons went to hospital for treatment and were later discharged.
This event – which authorities stated was a standalone event and deemed non-terroristic – resulted in disruptions to rail services and the temporary blocking of the main airport road tunnel and the T3 parking area for a short time.
