Formal charges have been brought against two men in connection with a suitcase robbery where a believed to be pepper spray caused injuries at London's Heathrow Airport.

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

The charges follow an probe of an attack at the multi-storey car park at Terminal 3 on the weekend. Earlier that day, two women were robbed of their luggage taken after getting out of a car park lift, police said.

A three-year-old girl was one of the people hurt during the incident. Several persons were taken to a medical facility and were eventually allowed to go home.

The incident – described by police as was not part of a series and deemed non-terroristic – led to train delays and the partial closure of the Central Terminal Area tunnel and the T3 parking area for a limited duration.
