Two Men Face Charges In Connection With Heathrow Alleged Pepper Spray Attack
Two individuals are now facing charges in connection with a suitcase robbery where a suspected capsaicin spray caused injuries at London's Heathrow Airport.
Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, now face two robbery charges and two counts of using a harmful chemical, as confirmed by court officials.
These accusations come after an probe of an assault at the parking structure at Heathrow's Terminal Three on Sunday. Prior to the attack, two women were robbed of their suitcases stolen after exiting a parking garage elevator, according to law enforcement.
A three-year-old girl was among those injured during the incident. Several persons went to hospital for treatment and were subsequently released.
This event – described by police as was isolated 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 limited duration.
