NEW YORK (AP) — A Transportation Security Officer and a luggage handler have been arrested on charges they stole items from passenger luggage at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport.
The pair were awaiting arraignment Tuesday in Queens Criminal Court on grand larceny and possession of stolen property charges.
Port Authority police, TSA investigators and other agencies assisted in a six-month investigation after authorities received complaints that passengers were missing items from their luggage.
Among the items stolen were a laptop computer and a cellphone.
TSA officials say their employee was placed on unpaid leave pending resolution of the charges.
