A baggage handler at Phuket International Airport was arrested on Wednesday for the theft of a Bluetooth speaker from a passenger’s luggage after a video clip of the theft was circulated on social media.
Sub Lt. Wittaya Kongsomboon, of the Phuket Tourist Police, along with Cpl. Nattapon Pinkaew, of the Sakoo Police, arrested Abdulloah Hayeemayaeh, 27, from Pattani, at the airport. He was arrested with a black Bluetooth speaker which Abdulloah admitted to stealing.
The arrest of Abdulloah came after police at the airport received a video clip on Wednesday from a person who asked not to be named. The video clip was recorded on Tuesday.
Maj. Ekkachai Siri, of the Phuket Tourist Police said, “In the video clip, a male baggage handler from the BAGS Company was seen going through passenger’s bags for Jetstar flight 3K535 at 3:30pm.
“Police questioned staffs from the BAGS Company to find out who the male seen in the video was. We were told that it was Abdulloah seen in the clip and he confessed to being the man in the video,” Maj. Ekkachai said.
Abdulloah has since been charged with theft.
