Authorities are on the lookout for a man seen on CCTV stealing a suitcase at Gatwick Airport, causing distress to a traveling family
London: So, there was this wild incident at Gatwick Airport. Police are on the hunt for a guy who swiped a family’s suitcase right under their noses. Can you believe it?
They’ve got CCTV footage showing this dude casually wheeling away the bag. It all went down at the South Terminal on December 12. The family had just left for a long holiday, and this guy made off with some serious stuff—like laptops, a wallet, and even scuba gear!
According to Sussex Police, he hopped on a bus to Crawley afterward and tried to use the stolen bank cards nearby. Talk about a bold move! The thief is described as being in his 30s, sporting a beard, and wearing a dark blue jacket and jeans.
It’s pretty shocking to see him looking so chill while he’s rolling through the airport with all those bags. Inspector Mark Robinson mentioned how distressing this was for the family, especially with the holiday rush coming up.
They’re really hoping someone can help identify this guy. If you’ve got any info, Sussex Police wants to hear from you. Just quote serial 1097 of 12/12 when you reach out.
