luggage theft at Guarulhos international airport in São Paulo
Baggage theft at Guarulhos international airport in São Paulo is on the rise. A recent feature by Época SP magazine (read the full text in Portuguese at Cumbica: 20 malas por dia têm objetos furtados no aeroporto) revealed how it is estimated an average of 20 pieces of luggage have all or part of their contents stolen every day at the airport. The article contains interviews with airport staff how describe the situation of baggage theft as a disease. Flights coming from Buenos Aires and Miami (where Brazilians love to go shopping) are particularly affected.
If that was not enough, police forces are after a gang stealing luggage items directly from passengers at the airport. Folha de São Paulo reports on the text at Polícia procura ladrões de bagagens em Cumbica; veja roubos.
