Fourteen workers at one of Spain’s main tourist airports have been arrested on suspicion of stealing items from passengers’ checked-in luggage.<\/p>\n
Police seized allegedly stolen items worth almost \u20ac2m (\u00a31.72m) from the employees at Sur-Reina Sof\u00eda de Tenerife, in Spain’s Canary Islands.<\/p>\n
The items included \u20ac13,000 (\u00a311,156) worth of cash, 29 luxury watches, 120 items of jewellery and 22 mobile phones and electronic devices.<\/p>\n
Belongings were stolen as the baggage was being placed in the aircraft hold, police said.<\/p>\n
A video posted by police showed a ring that had been hidden inside a pair of headphones.<\/p>\n
The investigation began after a rise in passenger complaints about items going missing from their luggage, the police statement said.<\/p>\n
