Two men have been charged related to a luggage theft where a suspected irritant 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 administering a noxious substance, according to official statements.

This legal action stems from an investigation into an attack at the parking structure at Terminal 3 on Sunday. Prior to the attack, two female travelers had their luggage taken after getting out of a car park lift, according to law enforcement.

A three-year-old girl was among those injured in the event. Several persons required hospital care and were subsequently released.

This event – described by police as was not part of a series and not being treated as terrorism – led to disruptions to rail services and the partial closure of the main airport road tunnel and the T3 parking area for a limited duration.
