An Air France flight attendant has admitted to stealing thousands of pounds worth of jewellery and cash from sleeping passengers on long haul, business class flights.

Air France has had a reported 142 separate incidents of theft since January this year alone. A forty seven year old flight attendant has been charged after being caught out when a flight she was working on touched down at Charles de Gaulle airport following a flight from Tokyo in Japan.

After months of investigations and discussions the French police were finally able to pinpoint who was responsible for the thefts by carrying out a series of checks on cabin crew working over many different shift patterns. The route to and from Tokyo was said to have been a popular route for the thefts to occur on.

It is believed that the Japanese were targeted due to them carrying large amounts of cash rather than choosing to use credit cards. Police opted to launch a full investigation into the Japanese route after five different passengers complained that they had money and jewellery stolen during one flight, the amount totalled over 3500.

The female flight attendant at the centre of the thefts has now admitted that she began her stealing from passengers in March 2009 and has already admitted to police that she has committed 26 thefts, that she can remember.

Following considerable investigations the police admitted that “Her bank accounts revealed a dizzying gap between her lifestyle and her tax revenues.”

The police authorities have also spoke of how she kept the jewellery she stole in a safe deposit box in a bank in Rouen, where she is believed to have lived. Some of the jewellery included a Cartier wedding ring and a range of diamond rings.

Cheque books, credit cards and travellers cheques were also found in her home. If she is found guilty she will face up to ten years imprisonment for her actions.
