Police ground flight after staff wrongly accused passengers of stealing security guard’s phone

Police boarded a Wizz Air flight and passengers were held on the tarmac for nearly 90 minutes Friday – after staff wrongly accused passengers of stealing a security guard’s mobile phone.

Wizz Air flight W95004 was due to fly from London Luton to the Albanian capital Tirana at 15.10 yesterday.

However passengers were told the plane was going nowhere as CCTV footage apparently showed a passenger swiping a phone in the airport.
