Two PRC men have been arrested separately for stealing on board two SIA flights on Sat (21 Apr).
In the first case, while on board an SIA flight from Hong Kong to Singapore, a crew member saw a passenger remove a laptop bag from an overhead compartment which was a few seats away from his seat.
Taking the bag back to his seat, he started searching through the bag. Later, the suspect was seen putting the bag back to its original place. The alert crew member informed the owner of the bag and proceeded to detain the 38-year-old PRC.
In the second case, a crew member saw a passenger remove a laptop bag from an overhead compartment near his seat. He then took the bag and moved to the rear of the plane during the boarding process. The SIA flight was from Singapore to Vietnam.
He was then seen removing some cash from the bag. He later returned the bag to the original overhead compartment. The alert crew member then detained the 49-year-old male suspect who is a PRC. Currencies amounting to S$630 belonging to the bag owners were recovered.
Both PRC men will be charged in court on Mon (23 Apr) with theft.
Last month, 2 PRCs were also caught with theft on board an SIA flight, flying from Jakarta to Singapore. Cash of US$5000 which was stolen from the wallet inside the laptop bag belonging to an American passenger was recovered (‘Two PRCs arrested for stealing on board SIA‘).
Since February this year, a few cases of passengers’ valuables, especially cash, kept in hand-carry bags stowed in the overhead compartments, were reported stolen. Passengers usually would not notice as they were either sleeping, working on their PCs or watching inflight movie videos. The airline and its crew members were alerted by the police of the trend.
Police also advise passengers to be careful and to keep their cash and valuables with them instead of in the overhead compartment, while on board aircraft.
