Menzies Aviation of London is a contractor who handles several ground operations for Alaska Airlines at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, including baggage handling.

Menzies website states the following:

Menzies Aviation is at home in more than 20 countries, providing its airline customers with a range of passenger, ramp and cargo handling services. Ours is a dynamic, fast moving business, where safety, security and efficiency are the priorities

.

Well, it seems Menzies is having a problem with some of it's employees being a little too "fast moving". A 19 year old and a 22 year old male were arrested and lot their jobs during an investigation of suitcase thefts - laptops, video cameras, and DVDs were missing. No charges have yet been filed as the investigation continues.

Menzies VP John Fulford stated: "This is evidence of our ongoing commitment to our policy of zero tolerance toward theft".

It seems Mr. Fulford has his work cut out for him - - in December of last year seven Menzies employees were arrested after 68 looted suitcases were found in trash bins in Houston.
