Two individuals are now facing charges related to a luggage theft where a believed to be capsaicin spray led to people being hurt at London's Heathrow Airport.

Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, now face two counts of robbery and two counts of administering a noxious substance, according to official statements.

This legal action stems from an probe of an attack at the parking structure at Terminal 3 on the weekend. Before the assault occurred, two women were robbed of their luggage taken after exiting a parking garage elevator, police said.

A three-year-old girl was among those injured in the event. A total of five individuals required hospital care and were later discharged.

This event – which authorities stated was a standalone event and not being treated as terrorism – led to train delays and the partial closure of the main airport road tunnel and the T3 parking area for a limited duration.
