Two Men Face Charges Over Heathrow ‘Pepper Spray’ Attack
Two individuals are now facing charges in connection with a suitcase robbery where a suspected capsaicin 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 using a harmful chemical, authorities have stated.
These accusations come after an investigation into an attack at the parking structure at Terminal 3 on the weekend. Before the assault occurred, two female travelers had their luggage stolen after exiting a car park lift, police said.
A three-year-old girl was one of the people hurt in the event. Several persons required hospital care and were eventually allowed to go home.
This event – described by police as was isolated and not being treated as terrorism – led to train delays and the temporary blocking of the Central Terminal Area tunnel and the Terminal 3 car park for a limited duration.
