Cops to show property stolen out of luggage at LAX
Police on Saturday will display more than 280 pieces of property recovered with the arrests of two baggage workers charged with stealing stuff out of passenger's luggage at Los Angeles International Airport.
Investigators hope victims can reclaim their property during the showing at the Ahmanson Recruit Training Center, 5651 W. Manchester Ave. in Westchester. The event runs from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Two employees working in the baggage handling area of the airport were arrested Oct. 30 on suspicion of theft of property from passenger's luggage.
Police searched their home and recovered jewelry, laptop computers, digital cameras, cell phones, iPods, a variety of brand-name handbags and purses, and other miscellaneous items.
One of the suspects admitted that he stole from luggage for about a year, police said. Most of the property was stolen from luggage checked for outgoing international flights.
For more information contact Lt. Peter Whittingham, at 310-646-2255.
