Baggage theft ring smashed
Indonesian police have arrested 25 baggage handlers at Jakarta's international airport over thefts from airline passengers' checked luggage.
Local police crime investigation chief Taufik Hidayat said the syndicate was broken following complaints from passengers.
"It involved some baggage handlers working for state airline Garuda Indonesia, Air Asia, Lion Air and Batavia Air," he told AFP today.
He said both international and domestic passengers had been victims.
Good to see that complaints actually result in some action. Unfortunately there are probably 100 more people waiting to take their places.
