Together they sit with masks on to cover their faces while being photographed by the media after they were arrested by the police.
Both suspects stole the pieces of luggage by picking them up at the airport conveyor belt, where making it seem as if it was there property. After being questioned by the police with substantial proof, both suspects admitted to the crime. It is estimated from their actions that this was not the first time that they attempted to steal travelers belongings and that they may have successfully done so before.
