A bag was stolen from Terminal 8 at JFK airport March 23.
The authorities were able to find the suspect after Port Authority Police Officer Ken Doran called the airport’s detective unit at 4 p.m. Tuesday to report Michael White, 52 from Cranford Avenue in the Bronx for his “suspicious” behavior at Terminal 5.
From a photo taken the day of the theft, Doran matched White as the suspect in the stolen baggage case, the PAP said.
Detectives from Port Authority made it to the scene and concluded that White was the same person in the photograph.
White was later detained in the JFK Squad Room and was read his Miranda Rights.
White then admitted to being the person that stole the bag, the PAP said.
White’s criminal history revealed that he was arrested 32 times prior to this and has several identities, according to the PAP.
