Cops bag airport-luggage thieves
PHOENIX - Two people suspected of stealing up to 1,000 pieces of luggage from baggage-claim carousels at Phoenix's airport have been arrested by police, who found heaps of the stolen bags strewn throughout their home.
There were so many suitcases that Phoenix police could give only a rough estimate of their number yesterday as they gathered them in the yard of Keith Wilson King and Stacy Lynne Legg-King's suburban residence.
"A piece of luggage here, a piece of luggage there, I would imagine gets stolen out of airports all the time," Phoenix police Detective James Holmes said yesterday. "This is a livelihood. There's a lot of luggage and there's a lot of victims."
King, 61, and Legg-King, 38, were arrested Monday, and jailed on charges of theft and possession of stolen property.
A spokeswoman for the Phoenix airport said that airlines had long ago stopped checking baggage-claim tickets, as a cost-cutting measure.
