Thieves steal lady’s purse at Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport (video)
Two men stole a passenger’s purse from Terminal 4 at the Fort Lauderdale / Hollywood International Airport on September 15. Now detectives are releasing video of the duo and asking for the public’s help to identify them.
A female traveler was waiting for transportation when a witness noticed two men grab her purse from her luggage cart and rush off. The Good Samaritan tried to pursue the thieves but lost them after they raced up the escalator.
The first suspect is described as approximately 6 feet tall and about 220 pounds. He wore a tan Kangol hat, black knee length shorts and a grey sport coat.
The second subject is described as approximately 6 feet tall and about 220 pounds. He wore a black Kangol hat, rolled up knee-length blue jean shorts and tan shoes with white soles.
Both men exited the terminal via the doors closest to the crosswalk on the upper level and entered a white Nissan Versa which was waiting curbside, driven by a third suspect.
The thieves were able to get away with a maroon Nine West purse, cash, an iPhone, Emirates ID’s, her Indian passport, Canadian Visa and several credit cards.
Anyone with information is asked to contact BSO Detective Jonathan Korman at 954-359-1243. If you wish to remain anonymous, contact Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS (8477) or online at browardcrimestoppers.org. Anonymous tips that lead to an arrest are eligible for a reward of up to $3,000.
