A TSA agent at JFK Airport has been arrested for stealing a $7,500 watch and then smashing it to pieces as authorities viewed surveillance footage, according to police.

As TSA officials and Port Authority cops were viewing security video, which allegedly shows Lauree-Grant taking the watch, she left the area to break it.

The watch was recovered in pieces.  

Lauree-Grant, of Montauk Avenue in Brooklyn, was charged with grand larceny, possession of stolen property and official misconduct.

Her bust marks the second time a TSA agent was arrested this week.

Previously, a TSA agent was arrested at La Guardia airport for sexually assaulting a South Korean college student after allegedly luring her into a bathroom for unauthorized screening.
