The 27-year-old man, Abdullah Hayee Mayeh, was arrested Oct. 12. He allegedly helped himself to passengers’ possessions while being employed by a third-party baggage handling company. A Jetstar spokesman said an investigation into the thefts is underway.

“Jetstar is aware of a video circulating online, and we are taking the matter very seriously,” the airline said in a statement. “We have launched an immediate investigation and will work with Airports of Thailand, our ground handler BAGS and our local security company to ensure the security of our customers’ property on-board our flights.”

After his arrest, Mayeh allegedly made a full confession. The authorities are reportedly trying to match stolen items with the passengers from whom they were taken.

BAGS, the third-party baggage company for which Mayeh works, provides baggage services for nearly 100 airlines in Thailand.
