Two Individuals Accused Over Heathrow ‘Pepper Spray’ Incident

Two individuals are now facing charges related to a luggage theft where a believed to be pepper spray caused injuries at London's Heathrow Airport.

Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, have both been charged with two counts of robbery and two counts of using a harmful chemical, as confirmed by court officials.

The charges follow an investigation into an attack at the multi-storey car park at Heathrow's Terminal Three on Sunday. Earlier that day, two women were robbed of their suitcases stolen after getting out of a car park lift, police said.

A toddler was one of the people hurt in the event. A total of five individuals were taken to a medical facility and were later discharged.

This event – which authorities stated was a standalone event and not being treated as terrorism – led to disruptions to rail services and the partial closure of the main airport road tunnel and the T3 parking area for a short time.
