Four JetBlue employees and a city corrections officer have been charged with stealing credit card numbers from several unsuspecting airline passengers.More here.
Prosecutors said the five used the cards to go on a spending spree at restaurants, liquor stores, and shops including Bloomingdale's and Victoria's Secret.
Investigators began looking at the group after one traveler rushing to catch a flight accidentally left his credit card behind at a JetBlue counter at John F. Kennedy International Airport. Later, someone used the card to run up $508 in charges, the Manhattan district attorney's office said.
Three of the suspects are JetBlue customer service customer service agents. One was a flight attendant.
All five were to be arraigned in Manhattan Tuesday on identity theft charges.
JetBlue said it has suspended the four workers.
