Two Individuals Accused Over Heathrow Alleged Pepper Spray Attack

Two individuals are now facing charges following a luggage theft where a suspected 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 counts of robbery and two counts of using a harmful chemical, as confirmed by court officials.

These accusations come after an investigation into an attack at the multi-storey car park at Heathrow's Terminal Three on Sunday. Prior to the attack, two women were robbed of their luggage stolen after getting out of a car park lift, police said.

A young child was caught up in the incident in the event. Five people went to hospital for treatment and were subsequently released.

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