Two United Airlines cargo agents at San Francisco International Airport orchestrated a years-long scheme to steal marijuana from departing passengers’ luggage and then raked in as much as $10,000 per week selling the contraband, the feds said.
Joel Lamont Dunn was described as the mastermind and Adrian Webb his “right hand man” behind the brazen ring involving other cargo agents at the airport, according to a criminal complaint filed with the US District Court of Northern California on June 9.
According to the feds, an informant who had “knowledge of the conspiracy to steal marijuana” was working alongside Dunn and Webb as a ramp cargo agent when the alleged scheme was hatched in 2020.
The informant told the feds that Dunn approached them “to assist with stealing marijuana from checked baggage” at SFO.
The informant was paid around $2,000 in cash per shift “or more if large quantities were taken that day,” according to the criminal complaint.
