Two Individuals Accused In Connection With Heathrow ‘Pepper Spray’ Attack
Two individuals are now facing charges in connection with a luggage theft where a substance thought to be pepper spray caused injuries at London's Heathrow Airport.
Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, now face two counts of robbery and two counts of deploying a toxic agent, as confirmed by court officials.
These accusations come after an probe of an assault at the parking structure at Heathrow's Terminal Three on the weekend. Earlier that day, two female travelers had their suitcases taken after getting out of a parking garage elevator, according to law enforcement.
A three-year-old girl was caught up in the incident in the event. A total of five individuals went to hospital for treatment and were eventually allowed to go home.
This event – described by police as was not part of a series and deemed non-terroristic – caused disruptions to rail services and the temporary blocking of the main airport road tunnel and the T3 parking area for a short time.
