TSA agents at Miami International Airport were caught on surveillance footage stealing from passengers as they went through security.
The shocking footage shows Labarrius Williams, 33, and Josue Gonzalez, 20, working together to steal money from passengers’ bags at security checkpoint E on June 29.
Video from the Miami-Dade County State’s Attorney’s Office shows Williams moving items into a bin and then walking away as Gonzalez places his hand on the object.
Gonzalez is then seen holding something in his hand as he takes it out of the bin, then immediately drops something in his pocket before returning to the conveyor belt.
Another clip shows Gonzalez beginning to unzip a bag as the bin works its way down the strap.

Immediately afterwards he puts his hand in his pocket
He starts by opening the larger main compartment and then the smaller front pocket as he pulls out a wallet and drags it to the corner of the bin behind a larger bag.
As the box moves along, he opens the wallet and flips through the money hanging out. As the bucket moves along the line, it continually returns to it.
His hands are in the bin, touching the bag until it goes into the X-ray machine. Then he puts his hands in his pockets and walks back to the end of the line.
On July 6, Williams, Gonzalez and a third TSA agent Elizabeth Fuster were arrested for allegedly taking $600 from a passenger’s wallet while going through security.
According to arrest affidavits, Gonzalez and Fuster waived their rights and made written confessions at the time of their arrest. Williams declined to talk.

The theft took place at one of the country’s busiest airports, Miami International Airport
However, at a later hearing, the charges against Fuster were dropped NBC Miami.
They also report that Gonzalez has been entered into a state program that, if completed, will drop the charges against him.
He must pay $700 to the two victims, perform 25 hours of community service and provide his airport security details.
Williams was denied access to the same program and will appear in court.
