Duo nabbed for stealing on SIA flight

Published on Mar 27, 2012

While the passengers of a Singapore Airlines (SIA) flight were watching videos or sleeping on Sunday, two men were helping themselves to valuables in their carry-on bags.

The duo, both Chinese nationals, rifled through the bags that had been stowed in overhead cabins looking for valuables. In one case, they struck gold - US$5,000 (S$6,300) in a laptop bag.

But an eagle-eyed crew member cottoned on to their game: By the time the Jakarta-Singapore flight landed at Changi Airport, the police were waiting for the pair.

Several such thefts have happened in the last month. Police reports have been made, and airlines and their crew alerted to this.

Read the full story in Tuesday's edition of The Straits Times.

"You're a great way to fly" – That's the Singapore Airlines tagline, and by and large they are a great way to fly.

For some though, they wanted to make their recent Singapore Airlines experience richer; by stealing.

Two men have been arrested in relation to a theft of US$5,000 on board a Singapore Airlines flight bound for Singapore from Jakarta on Sunday (25 March), reported Channel NewsAsia.

The pair, believed to be Chinese nationals, thought they would seize the opportunity to become US$5,000 richer, but reality struck soon after the plane landed.

An SQ crew member had observed one of the alleged thieves removing a laptop bag from an overhead compartment.

He then went back to his seat and allegedly took out money from a wallet found inside the bag, believed to belong to an American passenger.

The man and his accomplice were handed to the police at Changi Airport and will be charged in court on Tuesday.
