Two Charged Over Heathrow Alleged Pepper Spray Attack
Two men have been charged in connection with a luggage theft where a believed to be irritant spray caused injuries at London's Heathrow 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.
These accusations come after an probe of an attack at the multi-storey car park at Terminal 3 on Sunday. Prior to the attack, two female travelers had their luggage taken after getting out of a parking garage elevator, according to law enforcement.
A young child was one of the people hurt in the event. A total of five individuals went to hospital for treatment and were eventually allowed to go home.
This event – described by police as was a standalone event and not being treated as terrorism – led to disruptions to rail services and the partial closure of the Central Terminal Area tunnel and the Terminal 3 car park for a brief period.
