> Stewardess stole from sleeping air passengers
>
> An Air France stewardess has been arrested after stealing thousands of
> pounds in cash and valuables as her unsuspecting victims slept on
> long-haul flights.
>
> The 47-year-old – named only as Lucie R – targeted dozens of wealthy
> Japanese business travellers flying between Paris and Tokyo in first
> class, reportedly because many frequently carried large amounts of cash.
>
> 'The first complaints of theft came in January, when five passengers said
> they had lost a total of €4,000 (£3,400) during a flight from the far
> east,' said French police.
>
> 'Then reports of theft multiplied throughout the year – totalling
> incidents of theft on 142 flights.'
>
> The light-fingered thief also pilfered jewellery, watches and credit cards
> while pretending to make passengers more comfortable. Gold and silver, a
> Cartier watch and a diamond ring were all unearthed in a safe deposit box
> at a bank in her home town of Rouen, northern France.
>
> After a six-month investigation comparing staff rotas with theft
> complaints, she was seized at Paris's Charles de Gaulle at 4.30am on
> Friday as she got off the 12-hour flight from Tokyo.
>
> 'She has confessed to 26 separate thefts that she can remember – but
> clearly there are others,' said police.
>
> 'Her bank account also reflects the fact that she was amassing far more
> cash than her salary would suggest.'
>
> Air France said it was only responsible for property in hold luggage.
>
> They said passengers who thought they had been robbed should contact their
> insurance company.
>
> The woman faces up to ten years in jail if convicted. She's also lost her
> job.
