$260,000 worth of goods stolen from man's carry-on during flight
A man flying to Hong Kong earlier this week claimed he lost goods worth approximately $260,000, after two watches and foreign currency were stolen from the luggage he had stored in the plane's carry-on bin. The man, identified by local media as a Turkish merchant, was flying from Turkey to Hong Kong on an Emirates flight. Upon arrival on Monday morning, the 39-year-old man reported the incident to airline staff, who called the Hong Kong police. There have been a rising number of mid-air thefts reported in recent years, according to Hong Kong authorities. Government figures show at least 60 cases were reported last year, up from 48 in 2014.<br/>
