Two Spirit Airlines employees are facing theft charges for allegedly pilfering a passenger's Louis Vuitton wristlet valued at $505. The incident reportedly occurred on October 19 at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. Security footage captured the passenger leaving the wristlet behind, with an employee later finding it.
Investigators reviewed CCTV footage showing guest supervisor Olukunle Idowu allegedly accessing the wristlet, taking its contents, and then later, with co-defendant Hyacinth Linton, disposing of the empty bag. Linton is accused of placing the empty wristlet into her backpack while the plastic bag containing other items was discarded.
Spirit Airlines confirmed awareness of the charges filed in November. The company stated one employee is suspended without pay, and the other is on leave. A thorough investigation is underway, with further actions promised based on its conclusion. Idowu and Linton were arrested in November and have entered not guilty pleas for petit theft charges.
