I just read about two of Kennedy Airport’s baggage handlers stealing about $250,000 worth of diamonds and jewelry.  The two people, a 51 year-old worker and a 30 year-old supervisor, are being charged with grand larceny and possession of stolen property.  The jewelry was in a container marked “high value” being shipped from Switzerland to Brazil.

Police are saying that supervisor broke the seals on the container and handed the other worker three boxes of jewelry.  The the other worker then hid the jewelry in his jacket before putting it in a locker at an American Airlines terminal, where the investigators found it.

Both the worker and the supervisor are being held on $5,000 bail and face up to 15 years in prison if convicted.
