Formal charges have been brought against two men in connection with a luggage theft where a suspected pepper spray caused injuries at London's Heathrow 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 assault at the parking structure at Terminal 3 on the weekend. Earlier that day, two female travelers had their luggage taken after exiting a car park lift, according to law enforcement.

A three-year-old girl was one of the people hurt during the incident. Several persons were taken to a medical facility and were eventually allowed to go home.

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 short time.
