In the video, a woman is seen parking a car on the street then walking toward the front porch of a house. About 20 seconds later, a delivery truck pulls up and the driver exits it with a package. As the driver approaches the same house, the woman turns to meet him. That’s when he is seen handing her a package.

The person who lives in the house where it happened told WGNO News that the package contained a credit card, and within minutes, whoever stole the card allegedly used it to withdraw about $1,400 from a nearby ATM.
