A 29-year-old EasyJet flight attendant, Lyren Maddix, is accused of using a company security pass to steal about £30,000 worth of tobacco, according to a court hearing reported by multiple outlets. The reports say Maddix worked for EasyJet for more than eight years and was described in court as a “valued” member of the cabin crew. Prosecutors allege she exploited access provided for her role to take tobacco and that she stole the goods to fund purchases of cocaine. The accounts describe the case as involving misuse of staff access and the diversion of tobacco from the airline’s supplies.
Details on the precise dates of the alleged thefts, the number of transactions, and whether Maddix has entered a plea are not included in the provided excerpts. The matter is before the courts, where the allegations are to be tested and a verdict will depend on the evidence presented.
