Two Charged Regarding Heathrow ‘Pepper Spray’ Incident

Two individuals are now facing charges related to a suitcase robbery where a believed to be capsaicin spray resulted in harm at London's Heathrow Airport.

Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, now face two robbery charges and charges for administering a noxious substance, authorities have stated.

This legal action stems from an investigation into an assault at the parking structure at Heathrow's Terminal Three on Sunday. Before the assault occurred, two female travelers had their luggage stolen after getting out of a car park lift, police said.

A three-year-old girl was one of the people hurt in the event. A total of five individuals were taken to a medical facility and were later discharged.

The incident – described by police as was a standalone event and deemed non-terroristic – resulted in train delays and the partial closure of the main airport road tunnel and the T3 parking area for a brief period.
