Spirit Airlines Staff Steals $505 Wristlet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The alleged theft took place on October 19, when the passenger left her Louis Vuitton wristlet, valued at $505, on a gate counter while preparing to board her flight. The wristlet was handed to Spirit Airlines employees working at the gate at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Court records state that 3 days later, Spirit Airlines supervisor Olukunle Idowu, 49, found the wristlet inside a drawer at the gate area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surveillance footage shows Idowu taking possession of the item and looking through its contents. The alleged theft was first reported by the Miami Herald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to court documents, Idowu carried the wristlet to a gate two positions away and conducted a full inventory of its contents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shortly afterward, fellow Spirit Airlines employee Hyacinth Linton, 56, joined him at the counter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video footage reportedly shows Linton emptying the wristlet\u2019s contents onto the counter. Within seconds, Idowu scooped the items into a plastic bag, while Linton placed the wristlet \u201cdeep inside\u201d her backpack, using wording quoted directly in court records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The affidavit further states that Idowu later discarded the plastic bag containing the remaining contents into a trash bin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
