Baggage Handlers Held In Airport Sting

Police have arrested scores of people as part of a months-long investigation into baggage theft at Los Angeles International Airport.

The probe involved officers going undercover among baggage handlers and began after a string of reports of luggage thefts from terminals, runways and planes.

Police captain Ray Maltez told local station KABC-TV: "We believe that there has been a culture of being able to take property that wasn't theirs, and that's what we want to be able to put a stop to."

Many of those held are contractors hired to handle luggage

It was not clear exactly how many have been arrested.

Police said they had served warrants, raided airport terminals and seized property at 25 different locations in Los Angeles-area cities.

Those arrested were primarily employees or ex-employees of contracting companies hired to handle luggage and do not work for the airport itself, police said.

Some of the suspects were wearing yellow reflective safety vests and were in handcuffs as they were being taken into custody by police.

Most of the police activity was at the Tom Bradley International Terminal and at Terminal 4, which houses American Airlines, American Eagle and some Qantas flights.
