A Brazilian doctor accused of opening other passengers’ luggage and taking their belongings at Miami International Airport was arrested on Sunday, authorities said.<\/p>\n
Marcos Danilo Assuncao-Oliveira, 68, was charged with third-degree grand theft.<\/p>\n
During his court appearance on Monday, a judge set his bond at $1,100.<\/p>\n
According to authorities, on Friday, Assuncao-Oliveira was seen on surveillance video loitering in the area of the American Airlines baggage claim.<\/p>\n
An arrest report said that Assuncao-Oliveira then started taking several pieces of luggage from different baggage carousels, opened them, took what was inside, and then placed the luggage back on the carousel.<\/p>\n
Assuncao-Oliveira did that several times and then left the airport with the times he took from the luggage, the report said.<\/p>\n
The amount he took in items was valued at about $1,350, the report said.<\/p>\n
Assuncao-Oliveira was then found and arrested.<\/p>\n
Authorities said Assuncao-Oliveira had no active flights with American Airlines in the last six months.<\/p>\n
Three victims were identified, while others are pending identification.<\/p>\n
Although the report lists him as homeless, records show Assuncao-Oliveira is a gynecologist with a private practice in Belo Horizonte, Brazil.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Brazilian doctor accused of opening other passengers’ luggage and taking their belongings at Miami International Airport was…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":379968,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[1219,123,125,1063,124],"class_list":["post-379967","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami","tag-crime-and-courts","tag-miami","tag-miami-headlines","tag-miami-international-airport","tag-miami-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/379967","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=379967"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/379967\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/379968"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=379967"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=379967"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=379967"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
