Two pickpockets were sentenced to 40 weeks each in prison after being arrested at Luton Airport on Monday.
Claudiu-Viorel Stefan, 32, of no fixed address, and Andrea Sipos, 28, of no fixed address, were attempting to fly back into Luton.
Beds Police arrested them when they arrived.
They were both found guilty of three counts of theft which were committed in August 2013 on the London Underground.
