Man Filmed Stealing Thousands Of Dollars From Tray At Airport Security

A man traveling through Fiumicino Airport in Rome, Italy was arrested after he was captured on surveillance cameras stealing $9,000 from another passenger while going through the security line. The footage shows one traveler placing two envelopes filled with cash into a tray so they could be x-rayed as he walks through a metal detector.  

While that man was going through security, another man, who was standing behind the victim but went through a separate metal detector, saw the money and grabbed it before taking his belongings and casually walking away. After the owner of the money is done being screened by security officials, he realizes his money is missing and begins frantically searching for it. 

Authorities reviewed the CCTV footage and managed to track down the thief. Officials from the Polizia di Stato said that the man hid the money in a bathroom and planned to go back for it later. In a tweet, officials said that the money, which was being used to pay for the medical care of the victim's relative, was recovered and returned to him.
