Buffalo Bills offensive tackle Dion Dawkins has publicly accused JetBlue Airways of theft. According to a report by Jenna Lemoncelli of the New York Post, Dawkins claims that employees of the airline stole items, including jewelry and "Rolex watches," from his fiancée's checked bag during a flight from Los Angeles to Fort Lauderdale.
In response, a JetBlue spokesperson stated to WIVB.com: "We take these reports very seriously and have launched a thorough investigation into the matter. In addition to conducting a comprehensive internal review, we will coordinate closely with law enforcement and other airport authorities to support their efforts."
Commentary on the incident suggests Dawkins should file a formal police report to aid an official investigation, which could determine which employees had access to the luggage from check-in to arrival on the carousel.
