Woman arrested for stealing bags from airport

A woman was charged with theft after stealing bags from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport on Saturday, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.

Natalie Abrams, 37, was seen taking bags from the airport baggage claim by an airport employee, according to the affidavit. The employee told police that she saw Abrams take a black bag from the baggage claim, then run into a nearby restroom with it. Minutes later, she returned and took a pink bag, then ran into the restroom again, the affidavit says.

Abrams told police she found the pink bag outside the terminal at a bus stop. Police also found a Garmin navigation system in one of Abrams's bags. When they asked her where she got it, she told them, "I got it from the pink bag I stole," according to the affidavit.

Abrams was arrested and was being held at Travis County Jail on Monday evening. Her bail is set at $5,000.
