Man captured on camera stealing packages right off someone’s porch

DRAVOSBURG, Pa. — Multiple, easy-to-see video cameras didn’t stop a man from walking right up onto a family’s porch and snatching their packages.

When Jill Giron watches the video, she said her blood starts to boil.

“I was mad, angry. I couldn’t believe somebody would stoop that low to take the packages,” she said.

Giron said the situation is ironic: There were new surveillance cameras and new flood lights in the packages.

The video captured by Giron’s system shows the man, with his face covered by a hood, quickly walk up her steps and swipe the boxes from her Dravosburg home.

“They were $600 cameras,” Giron said. “He’s a creep. I’m real disappointed, but if you’re that bad off that you need to steal from other people, that’s pretty sad.”

Police said they are actively investigating the theft but do not have any suspects yet.
