Baggage Handlers Arrested As Part Of LAX Theft Ring
Baggage Handlers Arrested As Part Of LAX Theft Ring
The sting, which occurred last month, focused on two baggage handlers who aroused suspicions based on the high number of thefts reported from flights the pair had worked. They were part of an operation that relied on x-ray information gathered from TSA baggage screening to find valuables in peoples' luggage. Since 2001, LAX passengers have filed nearly 3,800 theft claims for more than $300 million in personal property. Since the beginning of 2008, more than 30 LAX employees have been arrested on theft-related charges.
