Baggage Theft Ring Busted

Head of the precinct, Sr. Comr. Roycke Harry Langie, revealed that a group of baggage handlers conspired with Lion Air's security personnel to perpetrate their crimes. "Baggage from each flight is handled by two porters and one security officer," Roycke said last Wednesday.

The crime was exposed after a security camera in Terminal 1 caught a porter opening checked luggage in early November 2015. The gang targeted, among other things, cell phones, laptops and jewellery in expensive-looking luggage that were not plastic-wrapped.
