A family’s luggage was stolen at Gatwick Airport, prompting police to search for the thief who targeted them during check-in
London: So, here’s the scoop. A family was at Gatwick Airport, all set for a long trip, when their luggage went missing. Can you believe it? They were just checking in when some thief decided to swipe their bag.
This wasn’t just any bag, either. It had all sorts of valuable stuff inside—Apple gadgets, laptops, even diving gear! Talk about a bummer right before a holiday.
The police think the guy hopped on a bus to Crawley after the theft. He even tried to use the stolen bank cards nearby. They described him as being in his 30s, with a beard, wearing a dark blue jacket and a baseball cap. Sounds pretty sketchy!
Inspector Mark Robinson mentioned how distressing this was for the family, especially with kids in tow. They were just trying to kick off their holiday, and then this happens. Not cool at all!
Now, the police are asking for help. They’ve got CCTV footage of the suspect and want anyone who might recognize him to step forward. If you’ve got any info, don’t hesitate to reach out!
