Japan Airlines (JAL) has set up a reporting form and a dedicated hotline after an employee of a contractor was arrested on suspicion of stealing passengers’ cash at the security checkpoint in Haneda Airport Terminal 1.
According to NHK’s report, just before 6:30 a.m. on September 13, security screener Ryu Matsumoto was arrested for allegedly stealing 90,000 yen in cash from a passenger. He has reportedly admitted to stealing about 1.5 million yen in total so far, and police are investigating additional offenses.
JAL is asking anyone who believes they may have been affected or is concerned to consult the police, and says it will respond appropriately if a theft is confirmed. It is also requesting that the details reported to the police be shared via the reporting form or the dedicated hotline.
