|
A LAX Transportation Security Administration Officer is being accused of allegedly stealing watches from luggage at Los Angeles International Airport. According to the indictment, the worker stole an IWC GST chrono perpetual calendar moonphase watch valued at roughly $15,000, a Breitling Crosswind watch valued at about $5,000, a $1,000 Antima watch, a $1,000 Movado watch as well as a $1,000 pre-paid debit card.
Paul Yashou, 38, was indicted on two felony and three misdemeanor theft counts on Friday.
According to the U.S district attorney's office, Yashou allegedly stole the items from luggage going through security at LAX's Terminal.
Upon investigation, authorities found out that the $15,000 watch had been sold to a jewelry store that had tried to sell the item on EBay. The owner of the watch found it listed on the website and reported it.
The felony counts for the $15,000 and $5,000 watches, carry a maximum penalty of 10 years in federal prison. The three misdemeanor counts each carry a maximum of one year in prison.
