A brazen thief has got away with a TT$83,000 (US$12,322) haul in cash from Caribbean Airlines after posing as a security officer.
Dressed in a G4S security uniform, the man reported to a CAL service desk at Piarco International Airport stating he was to collect a ‘cash-n transit.’
CAL employees handed over two bags of cash and only later realized he was an imposter.
"Money was unlawfully removed from the Piarco International Airport by a man purporting to be a G4S security officer. The matter has been reported to and is being investigated by the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service," the state-owned airline said.
"Investigators are at this time using all resources to retrieve the stolen cash," a police statement said.
