MINNEAPOLIS — Airport police in Minneapolis say a Delta Air Lines employee has been cited for misdemeanor theft for allegedly stealing a traveler’s iPhone.

A woman said she recently lost her phone at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. Her son used a GPS system to track the phone to a St. Paul home where the airline employee lives.

Police tracked his airport badge and found he was working on the same night and in the same area where the phone was stolen.

Officers say they found the phone in the employee’s home.

Delta spokesman Paul Skrbec said on Saturday the airline won’t comment while the investigation remains open. He adds that Delta is cooperating with authorities.
