Two Charged Over Heathrow ‘Pepper Spray’ Assault
Two individuals are now facing charges related to a suitcase robbery where a believed to be irritant spray caused injuries at London's Heathrow Airport.
Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, now face two counts of robbery and charges for administering a noxious substance, according to official statements.
These accusations come after an probe of an assault at the multi-storey car park at Terminal 3 on the weekend. Prior to the attack, two women were robbed of their suitcases stolen after exiting a parking garage elevator, according to law enforcement.
A young child was one of the people hurt in the event. Several persons went to hospital for treatment and were later discharged.
This event – described by police as was not part of a series and deemed non-terroristic – caused train delays and the temporary blocking of the Central Terminal Area tunnel and the Terminal 3 car park for a limited duration.
