Two Individuals Accused In Connection With Heathrow Alleged Pepper Spray Incident
Two individuals are now facing charges following a suitcase robbery where a suspected 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 administering a noxious substance, authorities have stated.
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 stolen after exiting a car park lift, police said.
A toddler was one of the people hurt in the event. Several persons went to hospital for treatment and were subsequently released.
The incident – described by police as was isolated and deemed non-terroristic – caused train delays and the temporary blocking of the Central Terminal Area tunnel and the T3 parking area for a brief period.
