Two men have been charged following a luggage theft where a suspected capsaicin spray resulted in harm at the UK's busiest airport.

Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, have both been charged with two counts of robbery and two counts of deploying a toxic agent, as confirmed by court officials.

These accusations come after an investigation into an assault at the parking structure at Heathrow's Terminal Three on Sunday. Before the assault occurred, two female travelers had their suitcases stolen after getting out of a car park lift, authorities reported.

A toddler was among those injured in the event. A total of five individuals 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 – led to train delays and the temporary blocking of the Central Terminal Area tunnel and the T3 parking area for a limited duration.
