Two men have been charged related to a suitcase robbery where a substance thought to be irritant spray resulted in harm at London's Heathrow Airport.

Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, have both been charged with two robbery charges and charges for using a harmful chemical, as confirmed by court officials.

These accusations come after an investigation into an attack at the multi-storey car park at Heathrow's Terminal Three on the weekend. Before the assault occurred, two female travelers had their suitcases taken after getting out of a car park lift, police said.

A three-year-old girl was one of the people hurt in the event. Several persons were taken to a medical facility and were subsequently released.

This event – which authorities stated was not part of a series and not considered a terror-related act – caused train delays and the partial closure of the Central Terminal Area tunnel and the T3 parking area for a brief period.
