Gatwick: So, there’s this wild story about a luggage thief at Gatwick Airport. Police have released CCTV footage showing a guy just snatching suitcases right in front of everyone.
This happened on December 12, while folks were busy checking in for their long-haul flights. The thief was seen grabbing all sorts of stuff—laptops, house keys, even a wallet. Can you believe it?
After the theft, it seems he hopped on a bus to Crawley and tried to use the stolen bank cards nearby. Sussex Police got the call about the thefts and jumped into action.
They’ve got a full list of what was taken, including some pricey Apple gadgets and even scuba gear. The police are really keen to find this guy, describing him as being in his 30s, with a beard, and wearing a dark blue jacket and a baseball cap.
Inspector Mark Robinson mentioned how distressing this was for the family involved, especially since they were just trying to kick off their holiday. They’re asking anyone who might recognize the guy to step forward.
And if that wasn’t enough, Sussex Police are also dealing with a separate issue where a neighbor has blocked a public footpath with a metal fence. It’s been a real headache for the locals, who just want to get their path back.
