Two Individuals Accused In Connection With Heathrow Alleged Pepper Spray Incident
Two men have been charged in connection with a luggage theft where a believed to be pepper spray led to people being hurt at London's Heathrow Airport.
Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, have both been charged with two robbery charges and two counts of deploying a toxic agent, authorities have stated.
These accusations come after an probe of an attack at the multi-storey car park at Heathrow's Terminal Three on the weekend. Prior to the attack, two female travelers had their luggage stolen after exiting a car park lift, police said.
A young child was one of the people hurt in the event. A total of five individuals required hospital care and were eventually allowed to go home.
This event – described by police as was isolated and not being treated as terrorism – caused train delays and the temporary blocking of the Central Terminal Area tunnel and the Terminal 3 car park for a short time.
