Two Men Face Charges Over Heathrow Alleged Pepper Spray Incident

Two individuals are now facing charges related to a luggage theft where a substance thought to be pepper spray resulted in harm at the UK's busiest airport.

Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, now face two counts of robbery and charges for deploying a toxic agent, according to official statements.

These accusations come after an probe of an assault at the multi-storey car park at Heathrow's Terminal Three on the weekend. Before the assault occurred, two women were robbed of their suitcases taken after exiting a parking garage elevator, police said.

A three-year-old girl was among those injured during the incident. Several persons were taken to a medical facility and were eventually allowed to go home.

This event – described by police as was a standalone event and deemed non-terroristic – caused train delays and the partial closure of the Central Terminal Area tunnel and the Terminal 3 car park for a brief period.
