Two Individuals Accused Regarding Heathrow ‘Pepper Spray’ Assault

Formal charges have been brought against two men related to a luggage theft where a suspected capsaicin spray resulted in harm at London's Heathrow Airport.

Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, have both been charged with two robbery charges and charges for deploying a toxic agent, according to official statements.

This legal action stems from an investigation into an assault at the multi-storey car park at Heathrow's Terminal Three on the weekend. Prior to the attack, two female travelers had their suitcases stolen after getting out of a parking garage elevator, 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 subsequently released.

This event – which authorities stated was isolated and deemed non-terroristic – caused train delays and the temporary blocking of the Central Terminal Area tunnel and the T3 parking area for a limited duration.
