New York Port Authority police and federal authorities have arrested a Delta Airlines ramp worker they assume rack up a bag containing $250,000 about to be flown to Florida — then called in sick, police sources said Thursday.
The bag of money, which belonged to an armored car company, was stolen from a Delta Airlines plane on Tuesday but was not reported missing until the plane landed in Miami, sources said.
According to the information provided by the Port Authority police, federal authorities immediately began questioning the Delta Airlines crew that worked on the plane.
Mr Quincy Thorpe immediately became a suspect after he called in sick the next two days.
The FBI arrested Thorpe at his home late Wednesday. He was charged with grand larceny. The money has not been recovered. Thorpe was released on $80,000 bond after his arraignment in Brooklyn Federal Court Thursday afternoon.
“I’m innocent,” he told reporters.
