The two TSA workers who robbed a drug mule of $40,000 earlier this year pleaded guilty yesterday and will serve the next six months in jail.

Coumar Persad, 44 of Jackson Heights and Davon Webb, 31 of the Bronx, admitted in Queens Supreme court that on January 30, 2011 inside of Building 56 at Kennedy Airport they stole thousands of dollars from a passenger’s bag that carried approximately $170,000.

The bag belonged to a 35-year-old woman who boarded an American Airlines flight set to take off to Buenos Aires that night. Authorities in Argentina were unable to locate the woman and feared she was killed because of the misplaced the money, a source told The Post in initial reports.

Persad noticed the huge amount of money as it passed through the X-ray machine and told Webb, who marked it with tape to identify before it was put onto the plane. Persad later entered the baggage handling area and placed a chunk of the money into a box that he hid in a nearby bathroom.

The robbers met up and stuffed the money into their clothes, but were caught by another employee who reported the matter to the Port Authority Police, said DA Richard Brown.

Port Authority officers found the money in both of their homes.

Persad and Webb pleaded guilty to grand larceny, obstructing governmental administration and official misconduct.
