Two Charged 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 London's Heathrow Airport.
Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, are accused of two robbery charges and charges for administering a noxious substance, as confirmed by court officials.
This legal action stems from an investigation into an assault at the multi-storey car park at Terminal 3 on Sunday. Earlier that day, two female travelers had their luggage stolen after exiting a parking garage elevator, according to law enforcement.
A young child was caught up in the incident in the event. Several persons were taken to a medical facility and were subsequently released.
This event – which authorities stated was a standalone event and not being treated as terrorism – led to disruptions to rail services and the temporary blocking of the main airport road tunnel and the Terminal 3 car park for a limited duration.
