A man was arrested twice in two days for trying to board flights at LaGuardia Airport with weapons in his carry-on, Port Authority officials said Monday. Michael Rios Jr., 25, was first cuffed Friday when TSA agents spotted a gravity knife and metal knuckles in his luggage as he tried to go through a screening checkpoint inside terminal D around 8 a.m., authorities said.

A 50-year-old man was caught with more than 30 bags of heroin near the Journal Square Plaza for the second time this month, authorities said. At around 6 p.m. on Friday, April 21, Port Authority police patrolling the area of Journal Square Plaza at Bergen Avenue noticed Calvin Clark — a Jersey City resident — with a purple packet in his hand that officers suspected was heroin, according to Port Authority police spokesman Joe Pentangelo.

Port Authority cops busted a man of many identities Tuesday after he stole a piece of luggage from a conveyor belt at Kennedy Airport, officials said. PAPD Officer Ken Doran spotted Michael White, 52, of the Bronx at about 4 p.m. in Terminal Five at the airport and recognized him as a man he thought was responsible for lifting a bag from a conveyor belt in Terminal Eight on March 23.

Port Authority police arrested a man twice in five days, authorities said. Keith Germany, 29, of East Orange, was arrested April 12 and charged with stealing a rental car from the Enterprise/National car rental lot at Newark Liberty International Airport, said Joe Pentangelo, a spokesperson for the Port Authority Police Department.
