Formal charges have been brought against two men in connection with a suitcase robbery where a believed to be pepper spray caused injuries at the UK's busiest airport.
Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, are accused of two robbery charges and charges for using a harmful chemical, authorities have stated.
This legal action stems from an probe of an attack at the parking structure at Terminal 3 on Sunday. Earlier that day, two female travelers had their suitcases stolen after getting out of a car park lift, according to law enforcement.
A toddler was caught up in the incident in the event. Five people were taken to a medical facility and were later discharged.
The incident – described by police as was isolated and not considered a terror-related act – caused train delays and the temporary blocking of the Central Terminal Area tunnel and the Terminal 3 car park for a limited duration.
