Tiny liquor bottles add up to giant theft at New York's JFK airport
Skift Take
Small liquor bottles and duty free are the downfall of many passengers, and it turns out that their tiny allure was enough to turn some airport workers into full-blown criminals.
More than a dozen workers at Kennedy Airport were arrested Wednesday and charged with theft of mini liquor bottles and duty-free merchandise valued at $750,000, authorities said.
Queens District Attorney Richard Brown said 15 truck drivers for Sky Chef, American Airlines' food service subcontractor, and three security guards working for FJC Security Services Inc. and SCIS Air Security Corp. were arrested on charges that includes grand larceny, possession of stolen property and bribe receiving.
