A passenger travelling on-board a 6.45am Aero flight on Monday was caught stealing about N350, 000 from a luggage belonging to an Austrian passenger on the flight.
The suspect seating on 23C of the Cabin ,was spotted the Cabin Excutive when he removed the Austrian’s bag from the over head luggage compartment pretending to be changing seat.
The suspect had removed the bag from the compartment where the Austrian sat, took it to his own seat and stole a sum of N150, 000 and 500 Euros belonging to the Austrian.
But he ran out of luck when the Cabin Executive raised alarm,and asked him to remain seated while he was trying to return the bag before the Austrian could suspect any foul play.
“While trying to return the bag I asked him to seat down. But he became uncomfortable before the plane landed and the white man raised alarm that he couldn’t find his bag,” she said.
After the suspect was stripped naked, he told other angry passengers that he mistakenly took the bag in question for his own.
The Austrian later discovered that the sum of N150, 000 and 500 Euros had been taken from the bag.
Other passengers immediately descended on the thieving Dennis.The money was later found on him alongside a wrap of marijuana.
The suspect said he stole the money to take care of his ailing mother.
