Two Charged In Connection With Heathrow Alleged Pepper Spray Incident

Formal charges have been brought against two men related to a suitcase robbery where a suspected pepper spray resulted in harm at London's Heathrow Airport.

Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, have both been charged with two robbery charges and charges for using a harmful chemical, authorities have stated.

The charges follow an investigation into an attack at the multi-storey car park at Terminal 3 on the weekend. Earlier that day, two female travelers had their suitcases taken after getting out of a parking garage elevator, according to law enforcement.

A three-year-old girl was one of the people hurt during the incident. A total of five individuals were taken to a medical facility and were eventually allowed to go home.

This event – which authorities stated was isolated and deemed non-terroristic – led to train delays and the temporary blocking of the main airport road tunnel and the Terminal 3 car park for a short time.
