This tale will make you think differently about the safety of your carry-on luggage.
According to local media reports, two men have been arrested after landing in Yangon from Doha on a Qatar Airways flight because someone allegedly caught them stealing from his bag midair.
The date of the flight is unclear, but the first trial date for the suspects was reportedly held on July 15.
According to a description of the events in the Star Online, one passenger noticed two men acting weird around the carry-on area and saw them going towards the bathroom with his bag.
He reportedly followed them and lodged a complaint with the flight crew, which was followed by another complaint from a different passenger about some missing cash.
The suspects, identified as Chinese nationals, were arrested by Mingaladon township police after the Qatar Airways flight touched down.
While these types of incidents are very rare, it’s probably a good idea to keep your cash in your pocket or in one of those waist strap thingies that so many tourists wear.
