Formal charges have been brought against two men in connection with a suitcase robbery where a substance thought to be capsaicin spray led to people being hurt at the UK's busiest airport.

Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, now face two robbery charges and charges for using a harmful chemical, authorities have stated.

These accusations come after an probe of an attack at the multi-storey car park at Terminal 3 on the weekend. Prior to the attack, two women were robbed of their suitcases stolen after exiting a parking garage elevator, according to law enforcement.

A young child was one of the people hurt in the event. A total of five individuals required hospital care and were later discharged.

The incident – described by police as was isolated and deemed non-terroristic – caused disruptions to rail services and the partial closure of the Central Terminal Area tunnel and the T3 parking area for a brief period.
