Two Charged In Connection With Heathrow ‘Pepper Spray’ Attack
Formal charges have been brought against two men following a suitcase robbery where a believed to be irritant spray caused injuries at the major London air hub.
Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, have both been charged with two robbery charges and two counts of administering a noxious substance, as confirmed by court officials.
These accusations come after an probe of an attack at the multi-storey car park at Terminal 3 on the weekend. Earlier that day, two women were robbed of their suitcases stolen after exiting a car park lift, authorities reported.
A toddler was among those injured in the event. A total of five individuals were taken to a medical facility and were subsequently released.
This event – which authorities stated was isolated and not being treated as terrorism – caused disruptions to rail services and the partial closure of the Central Terminal Area tunnel and the Terminal 3 car park for a brief period.
