Two individuals are now facing charges related to a suitcase robbery where a suspected pepper spray caused injuries at the UK's busiest airport.
Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, now face two counts of robbery and charges for administering a noxious substance, as confirmed by court officials.
These accusations come after an probe of an attack 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, authorities reported.
A toddler was one of the people hurt in the event. A total of five individuals went to hospital for treatment and were subsequently released.
The incident – described by police as was a standalone event and deemed non-terroristic – resulted in train delays and the partial closure of the Central Terminal Area tunnel and the T3 parking area for a brief period.
