Delta baggage handler arrested after US$300K goes missing at JFK
A baggage handler with Delta Airlines was arrested after US$300,000 went missing from JFK Airport. Quincy Thorpe was arrested at his home in Brooklyn Thursday morning and appeared in federal court in Downtown Brooklyn later in the day. The money -- which was transported in 8 bags -- was part of a cash shipment to be loaded onto Delta Flight 1225 from Kennedy Airport to Florida Tuesday. Court documents allege that Thorpe scanned and loaded the bags onto the flight before taking a bag of cash from a larger armoured car transfer. The armoured car's security company realised 1 of 8 bags that made up the transfer was missing once the flight landed in Miami -- prompting an investigation by Port Authority police and the FBI. Thorpe was quickly identified after fellow workers said he went home sick. <br/>
