Two individuals are now facing charges related to a luggage theft where a believed 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 two counts of administering a noxious substance, as confirmed by court officials.

This legal action stems from an investigation into 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 taken after exiting a car park lift, authorities reported.

A three-year-old girl was caught up in the incident during the incident. Five people required hospital care and were subsequently released.

This event – which authorities stated was a standalone event and not considered a terror-related act – resulted in train delays and the partial closure of the main airport road tunnel and the T3 parking area for a brief period.
