Two Men Face Charges Regarding Heathrow ‘Pepper Spray’ Attack
Two men have been charged following a luggage theft where a suspected capsaicin spray resulted in harm at the UK's busiest airport.
Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, have both been charged with two robbery charges and charges for administering a noxious substance, 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. Before the assault occurred, two female travelers had their luggage taken after getting out of a car park lift, authorities reported.
A toddler was caught up in the incident in the event. Five people were taken to a medical facility and were later discharged.
This event – described by police as was isolated and deemed non-terroristic – resulted in train delays and the temporary blocking of the Central Terminal Area tunnel and the Terminal 3 car park for a limited duration.
