(WNBC) - More than a dozen workers at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport have been arrested after a sting dubbed "Operation Last Call".

18 employees are alleged to have stolen 100,000 mini-bottles of liquor, perfume, cigarettes and other duty-free items.

A search of one retired worker's home turned up more than 500 garbage bags willed with mini-bottles of liquor.
