Houston authorities are on the hunt for two thieves who lifted $6,000 in travelers' luggage from the George Bush Intercontinental Airport, and they're reaching out to the public for any leads. The Houston Police Department released surveillance footage that shows the duo in the act of swiping bags from the baggage claim area on February 15, just around dusk.
The footage, according to FOX 26 Houston, captured the suspects committing their swift robbery, before slipping away into the night in a 90s model white Ford F-150, sporting damage on its passenger side. The clock had barely struck 6:00 p.m. when the crime unfolded in the 3500 block of N. Terminal Road.
Crime Stoppers has put a bounty on information that could reel in the perpetrators, offering up to $5,000 for details that successfully lead to the identification, charging, or arrest of the individuals behind this heist. Tips can be dropped anonymously by phone or through various online gateways.
Theft at airports undermines the trust we place in the sanctity of our personal belongings as we travel. In an effort to curb such violations, witnesses or anyone else with information have been urged to reach out. They can call 713-222-TIPS (8477) or turn to visit the Crime Stoppers website for secure reporting," as per instructions relayed in a Click2Houston report.
