Police found nine pieces of stolen luggage, including the two pictured above, inside a West Philly home. They are believed to have been taken from the Philadelphia International Airport.
Multiple pieces of luggage stolen from Philadelphia International Airport were found in a West Philly home, and police said they are trying to reunite some of the baggage with its owners.
Investigators found a total of nine suitcases inside the West Philly property after being led there on search for a bag that contained an Apple AirTag, a device whose location can be tracked using a phone, 6ABC reported. Police said they have issued an arrest warrant for a suspect and have identified several people whose luggage was stolen.

The luggage was discovered after one person who had his bag stolen from the airport last month told 6ABC that AirTag inside showed it had been transported to several locations in West Philly and South Jersey.
The news station attempted to locate the man's luggage, tracking it to the Cherry Hill Mall and a TD Bank in Camden, where a reporter confronted a woman who denied having it. The station then notified police.
Anyone who recognizes the stolen luggage or knows anything about the case can call the Philadelphia Police Department's Airport Unit at (215) 937-6927.
