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

Formal charges have been brought against two men related to a suitcase robbery where a suspected capsaicin 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 using a harmful chemical, authorities have stated.

These accusations come after an investigation into an attack at the multi-storey car park at Heathrow's Terminal Three on the weekend. Before the assault occurred, two women were robbed of their luggage stolen after exiting a car park lift, police said.

A toddler was among those injured in the event. Five people were taken to a medical facility and were eventually allowed to go home.

The incident – described by police as was a standalone event and deemed non-terroristic – resulted in train delays and the temporary blocking of the main airport road tunnel and the Terminal 3 car park for a short time.
