Two Individuals Accused In Connection With Heathrow Alleged Pepper Spray Attack

Two men have been charged in connection with a luggage theft where a substance thought to be 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 deploying a toxic agent, according to official statements.

This legal action stems from an probe of an assault at the parking structure at Heathrow's Terminal Three on Sunday. Earlier that day, two women were robbed of their suitcases taken after exiting a parking garage elevator, according to law enforcement.

A young child was one of the people hurt in the event. Several persons were taken to a medical facility and were later discharged.

This event – which authorities stated was isolated and not being treated as terrorism – led to disruptions to rail services and the temporary blocking of the main airport road tunnel and the Terminal 3 car park for a limited duration.
