PHOENIX – Two people have been arrested for allegedly stealing thousands of baggage items from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.

According to a Phoenix Police report, an investigation was launched after thousands of bags were reportedly stolen from the airport last month.

Sergeant Tommy Thompson with the Phoenix Police Department said detectives arrived at a home near 175th and Orangewood avenues in Waddell on Monday to investigate the theft.

Police served a search warrant on the house and reportedly found hundreds of bags inside overnight.

Keith King, 62, and Stacy King, 38, were arrested for offense burglary and tampering with evidence.

According to a Phoenix Police report, Stacy was tampering with evidence as police were serving the warrant Monday night.

Neighbors told ABC15 that Keith King seemed suspicious to them because he would come and go late at night with a horse trailer filled with items, but he never had horses.

Neighbors also said the couple, who has lived in the house for several years, held garage sales that included the sale of luggage and other items.

Video from Air15 showed that police have pulled dozens of bags out of the home and placed them in the front yard for investigation.

Police said the recovered items could include baggage that was lost at Sky Harbor up to a couple years ago.

It's unclear if the arrested couple has any ties to Sky Harbor Airport.
