1.20.2015 – A homeowner’s surveillance camera is recording from the front porch as the family waited for a package to be delivered. The effort pays off because the camera captures a suspect approaching the house. Another angle shows the man sitting on the ground to open the package, and then quickly leaving.

“Any package is fair game for them,” warned U.S. Postal Inspector Ketty Larco. “They will take whatever they find and they will open it up at their own convenience. Some of them will open up the packages right there or around the corner will discard the items they are not interested in.”

“These thieves will target these location in normal business areas when people are generally out of the house working when there is no one around,” she said.

In fact, authorities say they have arrested groups of people who follow delivery trucks.
