Two Individuals Accused In Connection With Heathrow ‘Pepper Spray’ Assault
Two men have been charged related to a luggage theft where a substance thought to be irritant spray led to people being hurt at the major London air hub.
Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, have both been charged with two robbery charges and charges for using a harmful chemical, according to official statements.
These accusations come after an probe of an attack at the multi-storey car park at Terminal 3 on the weekend. Prior to the attack, two women were robbed of their suitcases stolen after getting out of a parking garage elevator, according to law enforcement.
A three-year-old girl was caught up in the incident during the incident. A total of five individuals were taken to a medical facility and were eventually allowed to go home.
The incident – described by police as was a standalone event and not considered a terror-related act – led to train delays and the temporary blocking of the Central Terminal Area tunnel and the T3 parking area for a brief period.
