The incident led to the temporary shutdown of the main airport tunnel and the multi-storey parking facility.

Two individuals are now facing charges following a luggage theft where a believed to be capsaicin spray resulted in harm at the UK's busiest airport.

Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, have both been charged with two counts of robbery 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 women were robbed of their suitcases stolen after getting out of a parking garage elevator, authorities reported.

A young child was caught up in the incident in the event. Five people went to hospital for treatment and were later discharged.

The incident – described by police as was not part of a series and not being treated as terrorism – resulted in disruptions to rail services and the temporary blocking of the main airport road tunnel and the T3 parking area for a short time.
