Porch Parcel Thieves Are Targeting Holiday Deliveries

Share News:

Porch Thief 1

Thanks to inexpensive security cameras, we now have some video of at least one of the thieves that is hitting homes in Midway Hollow and Preston Hollow, stealing Christmas packages right off the front porch. In this video, Ken and Missy Clinchy recorded a thief stealing Christmas gifts off their front porch in the 3900 block of Lively Lane.

If you have video of thieves stealing packages, be sure to report them to the Dallas Police Department so that they can focus their patrols in areas that are being hit by these jerks.

    My friend has had multiple packages stolen from her porch near Northwest Highway and Jupiter. Jerks!

    According to the Midway Hollow Crime Watch, this lady has been caught! However, they have also discovered (thanks to the same camera) that there is a bald man driving a light-colored, four door sedan (possibly a Toyota Camry?) that is also stealing packages!

      I’d love to update the post with that news, Bethany! Do you have a link?

        Not yet? The crime watch just posted that she had been arrested, but they didn’t know more details than that. People are still reporting the vehicle in the video (the green-ish Ford Explorer) has been roaming the neighborhood as recently as 30 minutes ago, so it’s still an ongoing investigation, probably.

        Looks like the DPD just put out a presser: http://dpdbeat.com/2014/12/19/stealing-spree-by-a-scrooge/
