MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- The Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office took a man into custody after he allegedly stole luggage from Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport. 

According to the sheriff's office, it happened Wednesday, Dec. 21. Officials say Delta Airlines employees reported a passenger's baggage was missing from an arrival carousel. 

A deputy checked the area and located a man dragging two bags. According to the sheriff's office, upon seeing the deputy, the man boarded a transit bus and left the two bags behind at the bus stop. 

Deputies boarded the bus and took the subject, a 50-year-old Milwaukee man, into custody. 

Officials say the man refused to cooperate. An investigation subsequently revealed an individual who appeared to be the subject, removing three bags from the carousel, walking out of the baggage claim area towards the baggage bus stop, where he gave one of the stolen bags to a still unidentified man, before continuing on foot to the surface lot bus stop, where he was observed and then arrested by the deputies.

The unidentified male is still being sought. 

The 50-year-old man who was caught was arrested on three misdemeanor charges of theft. Additional evidence was uncovered that suggests the suspect may have stolen other baggage from Mitchell Airport on Nov. 28.

An investigation is ongoing. 

If your luggage is ever stolen, MCSO encourages you to report it to airport authorities and on-site law enforcement, freeze or cancel any credit or debit cards that were in your baggage. And if your cellphone was in your bags, contact your service provider to disable or lock your phone. Finally, contact your insurance company, if relevant to file a claim.
