SOUTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) - A porch pirate has been caught on camera stealing a package from a home in Southwest Miami-Dade.
The theft occurred in the area of Southwest 107th Court, near 155th Street, Monday afternoon.
Footage from a Ring doorbell camera captured the unidentified male porch pirate walking toward a home holding two packages he already grabbed from the mailbox of two other homes.
The crook picked up one package from the doorstep and immediately walked away.
He opened the package in order to see what he had stolen and threw away the box in a nearby garbage can, then returned to the door to grab the rest of the packages he left behind.
“I feel violated, you know,” said a victim who didn’t want to be identified. “It’s unfair. These things happen, but they shouldn’t. That’s the purpose of technology now, to stop this from happening and putting people out there. Hopefully, somebody could identify them and call it in.”
If you recognize the subject, call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS. Remember, you can remain anonymous, and you may be eligible for a $1,000 reward.
