Employee arrested for stealing gold chain of passengers

Police arrested a customs employee from the Calicut International Airport after CCTV footage showed he stole a gold chain from an Emirati traveler.

The male passenger from UAE complained he lost his three sovereign gold chains at the customs counter at the airport on May 19.

He pointed to airport employee Abdul Kareem as the one who stole the items.

The gold chains were put in a tray when his belongings had to go through an X-ray at the airport customs after arriving from an Air India Express flight from Dubai.

Abdul Kareem was arrested after authorities saw him in the CCTV footage getting the items. Police also recovered the gold chains from Kareem.

Kareem was remanded to two weeks judicial custody by the Manjeri Judicial First Class Magistrate after his arrest.
