Toilet thief

AN ingenious thief swiped €172,000 on a flight in the Caribbean after sneaking into the cash-laden cargo hold via the toilet.

A Brink’s security employee placed three sacks of cash containing a total €1.2 million in the hold of the Air Antilles plane before it headed from the French island of Guadeloupe to the Franco-Dutch island of Saint Martin.

When the flight landed 40 minutes later it was discovered €172,000 was missing from the sacks.
