Two Charged Over Heathrow ‘Pepper Spray’ Incident

Two men have been charged in connection with a luggage theft where a suspected pepper spray resulted in harm at the major London air hub.

Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, are accused of two counts of robbery and charges for administering a noxious substance, according to official statements.

This legal action stems from an investigation into an attack at the multi-storey car park at Heathrow's Terminal Three on Sunday. Prior to the attack, two female travelers had their suitcases taken after exiting a parking garage elevator, police said.

A toddler was caught up in the incident during the incident. Five people went to hospital for treatment and were later discharged.

This event – described by police as was a standalone event and not being treated as terrorism – led to disruptions to rail services and the temporary blocking of the main airport road tunnel and the Terminal 3 car park for a short time.
