Two Charged In Connection With Heathrow ‘Pepper Spray’ Assault

Formal charges have been brought against two men following a suitcase robbery where a believed to be pepper spray resulted in harm at the UK's busiest airport.

Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, are accused of two robbery charges and charges for administering a noxious substance, as confirmed by court officials.

The charges follow an probe of an assault at the parking structure at Terminal 3 on Sunday. Earlier that day, two women were robbed of their suitcases taken after exiting a car park lift, according to law enforcement.

A three-year-old girl was one of the people hurt in the event. A total of five individuals were taken to a medical facility and were subsequently released.

The incident – described by police as was isolated and not being treated as terrorism – led to train delays and the temporary blocking of the main airport road tunnel and the Terminal 3 car park for a short time.
