Mid-flight thieves target SA passenger on SAA flight to Hong Kong
[Traveler24] Cape Town - Travellers are being warned about a mile-high syndicate operating on board flights to Asian destinations, alleged to have netted stolen goods to the value of R6.5m in the last 9 months. Figures released by the Hong Kong police point to an increase in theft during flights that land in Hong Kong. Over the past five years, reported cases of this mile high criminal activity have more than doubled and on 21 December 2015, South African Airways passenger Warren Becker became one of the latest victims. Becker wrote to Traveller24 when he landed back in South Africa after what he calls a "ruined holiday". No mention here, but I wonder how many landed in Hong Kong surprised to find their passports nicked. Posted by: Besoeker 2016-01-14 |
