Two Individuals Accused In Connection With Heathrow ‘Pepper Spray’ Attack
Two men have been charged following a luggage theft where a believed to be capsaicin spray resulted in harm at the major London air hub.
Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, now face two robbery charges and two counts of using a harmful chemical, as confirmed by court officials.
These accusations come after an investigation into an attack at the multi-storey car park at Terminal 3 on the weekend. Prior to the attack, two female travelers had their luggage stolen after exiting a car park lift, according to law enforcement.
A three-year-old girl was among those injured in the event. A total of five individuals went to hospital for treatment and were subsequently released.
This event – which authorities stated was isolated and not being treated as terrorism – resulted in train delays and the temporary blocking of the main airport road tunnel and the Terminal 3 car park for a limited duration.
