Two Charged Regarding Heathrow Alleged Pepper Spray Incident

Formal charges have been brought against two men following a suitcase robbery where a suspected irritant spray led to people being hurt at the major London air hub.

Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, have both been charged with two counts of robbery and two counts of deploying a toxic agent, as confirmed by court officials.

This legal action stems from an probe of 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 exiting a car park lift, police said.

A three-year-old girl was caught up in the incident in the event. A total of five individuals were taken to a medical facility and were later discharged.

This event – described by police as was not part of a series and deemed non-terroristic – led to train delays and the temporary blocking of the Central Terminal Area tunnel and the T3 parking area for a brief period.
