Eleven people, including several TSA screeners have been charged with theft of property at LAX airport. There was a crackdown going on, targeting a wave of airport crime. One incident of the theft involved model princess Paris Hilton and her limited-edition $100k watch.

Prosecutors say George Penaranda, a 27-year-old TSA screener, was spotted by a co-worker taking a Paris Hilton Limited Edition watch from the hotel heiress’s bag, slipping it into his glove and then his pocket in May of 2006.

Penaranda replaced the watch, which was valued at $100,000, after he realized that he had been observed, City Attorney’s spokesman Frank Mateljan said. He was charged with grand theft and faces a maximum sentence of one year in jail and a $1,000 fine if he is convicted.
