Two Charged Regarding Heathrow Alleged Pepper Spray Assault
Two individuals are now facing charges in connection with a luggage theft where a suspected pepper spray led to people being hurt at London's Heathrow Airport.
Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, are accused of two counts of robbery and two counts of using a harmful chemical, 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. Earlier that day, two female travelers had their suitcases taken after exiting a parking garage elevator, police said.
A three-year-old girl was one of the people hurt in the event. A total of five individuals went to hospital for treatment and were later discharged.
This event – described by police as was not part of a series and not considered a terror-related act – resulted in train delays and the temporary blocking of the Central Terminal Area tunnel and the T3 parking area for a limited duration.
