The Roseville Police Department successfully nabbed porch pirates earlier today, thanks to the sharp observation of a vigilant citizen who recognized the suspects’ vehicle from social media posts related to porch package thefts.
The incident unfolded in the vicinity of Fiddyment and Holt when a citizen spotted the identified vehicle and promptly reported it to the police. Swiftly responding to the call, officers conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle, leading to the discovery of an Amazon package during a subsequent search.
Crucially, the package was traced back to an address near the location where the vigilant citizen first noticed the suspect’s vehicle. Officers immediately responded to the affected residence, confirming that the package had indeed been stolen from the porch. The stolen item was successfully recovered, and the individuals in the vehicle were taken into custody.
The Roseville Police Department expressed gratitude to the watchful citizen who not only provided crucial information but also demonstrated awareness of social media posts highlighting criminal activities in the area.
