Chennai: Two well-dressed men at the visitors’ lobby in Chennai airport, who had been allegedly stealing laptop bags and gadgets of passengers who arrived from abroad in the last few months, were nabbed by the airport police on Thursday.
The two suspects, natives of Madurai, were allegedly caught red-handed around 4 am when they were trying to lift a bag from the luggage trolley of a passenger who had arrived from a Gulf country. “The passenger was busy looking for his relatives when the duo tried to lift the bag,” the police said.
The action by the police was not an accidental one. While regularly browsing through the video footage of the visitors’ lobby, they had noticed the presence of the two in the area at regular intervals. On Thursday morning, at a time when most flights from the Gulf arrive, the police team again noticed the presence of the two and caught them while they were trying to lift a bag.
