Of course one does not want to get too emotional in this, as theft is theft, and that seems to be the general pasttime in this land nowadays, but one has to ask where was she arrested?
If she was arrested whilst still in the international side, ie the air side, she will well be able to get off on a technicallity - her defence would be that she was going to hand the stuff in at the bank and lost property. You laugh, but this is true.
It would have been a different case, had she been arrested once, she had landed and left the building. Then it is too late to hand the stuff in and that is theft - no doubt about that.
One wonders where she was actually arrested. Dont get me wrong I am not defending her, but as is often the case, people are arrested too quickly and they are able to get off on technicalities.
Theft is theft and I think guilty parties should be put away for a long time, but one hopes the powers that be did their work properly. The law must also run its way.
