Two men have been charged related to a luggage theft where a substance thought 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 charges for using a harmful chemical, authorities have stated.

This legal action stems from an investigation into an attack at the parking structure at Terminal 3 on Sunday. Earlier that day, two women were robbed of their luggage taken after exiting a car park lift, police said.

A toddler was caught up in the incident during the incident. A total of five individuals went to hospital for treatment and were subsequently released.

The incident – described by police as was not part of a series and not considered a terror-related act – resulted in disruptions to rail services and the partial closure of the main airport road tunnel and the T3 parking area for a limited duration.
