Two Individuals Accused In Connection With Heathrow Alleged Pepper Spray Attack
Two individuals are now facing charges related to a luggage theft where a believed to be pepper 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 administering a noxious substance, according to official statements.
These accusations come after an investigation into an attack at the parking structure at Heathrow's Terminal Three on Sunday. Prior to the attack, two women were robbed of their luggage taken after getting out of a parking garage elevator, police said.
A toddler was among those injured in the event. Five people went to hospital for treatment and were eventually allowed to go home.
The incident – which authorities stated was not part of a series and deemed non-terroristic – resulted in disruptions to rail services and the partial closure of the Central Terminal Area tunnel and the T3 parking area for a limited duration.
