Two Men Face Charges In Connection With Heathrow Alleged Pepper Spray Incident

Two men have been charged related to a luggage theft where a believed to be irritant spray led to people being hurt at the UK's busiest airport.

Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, now face two counts of robbery and two counts of administering a noxious substance, according to official statements.

This legal action stems from 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 taken after getting out of a parking garage elevator, according to law enforcement.

A young child was one of the people hurt during the incident. Five people required hospital care and were later discharged.

This event – described by police as was isolated and not considered a terror-related act – resulted in train delays and the partial closure of the main airport road tunnel and the T3 parking area for a brief period.
