Two Individuals Accused In Connection With Heathrow ‘Pepper Spray’ Assault

Two men have been charged following a luggage theft where a substance thought to be capsaicin spray resulted in harm at the UK's busiest airport.

Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, have both been charged with two robbery charges and charges for using a harmful chemical, according to official statements.

The charges follow an investigation into an attack at the parking structure at Heathrow's Terminal Three on the weekend. Earlier that day, two women were robbed of their luggage stolen after getting out of a car park lift, authorities reported.

A young child was one of the people hurt 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 not considered a terror-related act – caused disruptions to rail services and the temporary blocking of the Central Terminal Area tunnel and the T3 parking area for a short time.
