All over Louisiana, unfortunately, there is no lack of people who decide that they want the packages delivered to your home, so they ride up and take them. We often report cases where someone follows a delivery van and then hops out of the car to steal something meant for you.
Occasionally, you hear stories of these “porch pirates” just riding around neighborhoods looking for packages on people’s doorsteps or porches. They are looking for a crime of opportunity. These instances are bad for the person waiting on those packages and drive up the costs of everything.
Thankfully, when it comes to porch pirates, not every person who steals something from your home goes on their merry way without repercussions. Neighborhoods and businesses are now full of cameras of all shapes and sizes. Thus, this is the case with this person being shown on the Lafayette Crime Stoppers Facebook page.
The person stealing this package rode up on their bicycle, took what was at the door, and got away on their bicycle, but not without being caught by surveillance. Lafayette Crime Stoppers hopes someone out there can help them identify this person.
