Thousands of dollars in valuables stolen by baggage handlers at Los Angeles International Airport

When flying to Los Angeles, don't take anything expensive along.

Police say a $15,000 camera, Gucci bags, and name-brand clothing and jewelry are among the thousands of dollars in valuables stolen by baggage handlers at Los Angeles International Airport.

A joint operation between Los Angeles police and airport police was launched after it was noticed that lost and theft reports occurred at the airport more frequently when certain crews handled luggage.
