Two Men Face Charges In Connection With Heathrow Alleged Pepper Spray Assault
Two men have been charged following a suitcase robbery where a believed to be capsaicin spray resulted in harm at the major London air hub.
Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, are accused of two counts of robbery and charges for using a harmful chemical, authorities have stated.
This legal action stems from an probe of an assault at the multi-storey car park at Terminal 3 on the weekend. Earlier that day, two female travelers had their luggage stolen after getting out of a car park lift, police said.
A young child was among those injured during the incident. Several persons required hospital care and were later discharged.
The incident – described by police as was not part of a series and not considered a terror-related act – caused disruptions to rail services and the partial closure of the Central Terminal Area tunnel and the T3 parking area for a brief period.
