Two Charged Regarding Heathrow Alleged Pepper Spray Incident

Two individuals are now facing charges in connection with 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, have both been charged with two robbery charges and charges for using a harmful chemical, authorities have stated.

The charges follow an probe of an assault at the multi-storey car park at Heathrow's Terminal Three on Sunday. Earlier that day, two women were robbed of their luggage taken after exiting a car park lift, authorities reported.

A toddler was one of the people hurt during the incident. Five people went to hospital for treatment and were later discharged.

The incident – described by police as was isolated and not considered a terror-related act – caused disruptions to rail services and the temporary blocking of the main airport road tunnel and the Terminal 3 car park for a brief period.
