According to the British media Daily Mail, the victim A claimed that his mobile phone was stolen while using Indonesian Garuda Airlines flight GA716 from Jakarta, Indonesia, to Melbourne, Australia on the 6th (local time).
He said he left his iPhone in his back seat pocket before moving his seat during the flight and it had already disappeared when he returned.
After his arrival, he posted a screenshot on social media that tracked the location through the 'Find iPhone' feature.
As a result of the tracking, the mobile phone was last signaled near Melbourne's famous tourist attraction, Southbank Promenade.
In particular, the signal lasted between 3:50 p.m. and 4:40 p.m. near the Mercure Hotel in central Melbourne, where the flight's crew was reportedly staying.
After that, the iPhone signal disappeared while moving toward one leg. A estimates "The iPhone appears to have been abandoned in the Yarra River."
Urging attention to the incident, he stressed "This is not just a cell phone loss, it's a matter of safety for all passengers."
He asked nearby stores and citizens for CCTV footage and reports, saying `Please share this incident widely to help uncover the perpetrators.'
The incident also drew great attention in Indonesia and spread the wave.
Garuda Airlines said in an official statement on the 9th that all cabin crew members on the flight have been suspended.
An official told the Indonesian Business Post "We are constantly in communication with the affected passengers and dispatched staff to Melbourne to help with police investigations," he said. Also "Crews are complying with procedures, such as promptly cooperating with airport authorities to launch a search immediately after the incident," he added.
He then apologized for causing concern to the passengers"I will thoroughly investigate the case and spare all necessary support." he said.
