Two men have been charged related to a suitcase robbery where a believed to be pepper spray led to people being hurt at the UK's busiest airport.
Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, are accused of two counts of robbery and charges for using a harmful chemical, according to official statements.
The charges follow an investigation into an attack at the multi-storey car park at Terminal 3 on Sunday. Prior to the attack, two women were robbed of their suitcases stolen after getting out of a car park lift, police said.
A young child was among those injured during the incident. A total of five individuals were taken to a medical facility and were subsequently released.
This event – which authorities stated was isolated and not being treated as terrorism – led to disruptions to rail services and the temporary blocking of the main airport road tunnel and the T3 parking area for a brief period.
