Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is now conducting random baggage checks following the arrest of a couple who allegedly stole nearly 1,000 bags of luggage.

Other changes include increased video surveillance and police patrols in the baggage claim area.

Authorities advise passengers to mark luggage clearly and pick up bags as soon as possible upon arrival.
