Do You Know This Suspected Package-Stealing Grinch?
Caught on home video surveillance, the woman appears to be swiping a parcel from the front of a Mountain View home.
This just in from the Mountain View Police Department:
As we reported earlier this week, Holiday Grinches have been targeting packages in an attempt to steal a bit of joy out of this merry time of year.
But thanks to a Mountain View citizen who recently captured some images via their security cameras of a suspected package thief and vehicle.
If you have any information about either the suspect seen in these images or the vehicle, please call us at 650-903-6344 and reference case number 13-7048.
- Holiday Grinches may travel in pairs or packs, but you live in a neighborhood with more eyes and ears. Talk to your neighbors about keeping an eye out for unusual activity.
- “See something, say something.” Report any suspicious activity right away by calling our non-emergency number at 650-903-6395.
- If you have the ability to take a photo or quick video, this will also help us to better identify possible suspects. You can send these to us at police@mountainview.goe and reference your case number if you have one.
- Write down descriptions of suspicious individuals and/or vehicles, like clothing, vehicle make and model, as well as license plate.
