A New York Customs and Border Protection officer has admitted to stealing $100 bills from the bags of at least 100 passengers while carrying out searches at John F. Kennedy Airport over the past year, authorities said on Thursday.

Long Island man Joseph Cialone, 39, was arrested the same day after reportedly pocketing more than $10,000 from the scam.

The theft was revealed after a woman noticed money was missing on her March 26 flight to Trinidad and Tobago.

Authorities say Joseph Cialone, 39, admitted stealing $100 bills from passengers at JFK. He was investigated after a passenger complained money was missing following a March 26 search and another woman reported similar the next day

The New York Customs and Border Protection officer may have pocketed $10,000 in a year by stuffing money into his latex gloves while handling 'deep handbags' from international flyers

An envelope that contained $350 prior to having her bag inspected only had $250 once she inspected it after boarding her Jet Blue flight.

She filed a complaint the following day.

At the same time another passenger made similar allegations of missing money.

It prompted officials to review security footage that showed he was likely to have done similar to 11 women between March 17 and this Tuesday.

Video seemed to showed the Smuggling Interdiction Unit officer slipping cash into his latex glove while rifling through bags.

Authorities say he waived his Miranda Rights and admitted he targeted 'deep handbags' from international flyers.

This hand luggage in particular made it easier to conceal the thefts.

Video from the March 26 incident showed Cialone remove the woman's envelope from her baggage and put it back inside.

He is said to have confessed to stealing from 100 passengers and video suggests he stole from 11 women between March 17 and Tuesday

However when his hand came out of the bag, his fist was closed. He then removed his latex glove, placed it in his pocket and headed to the bathroom.

A criminal complaint states he confessed to swiping money from the bags of at least 100 passengers.

Cialone was released on $50,000 bond on Thursday.
