Thieves stealing packages is becoming a growing problem across the state, with a recent incident in Naugatuck caught on camera. A man posing as an Amazon worker was seen snatching a package from a porch on Aetna Street. The victim, Jose Mendez, noticed the suspicious activity but was unable to catch the thief.
Naugatuck Police advise against following suspects and encourage people to report any thefts instead. The imposter in the video has left neighbors stunned and on high alert. Nearby towns like Beacon Falls are also experiencing an increase in package thefts.
North Haven police recently arrested a man for attempting to steal a package. Homeowners are advised to designate a safe spot for deliveries, such as the back door, to prevent theft. Mendez was fortunate to receive a replacement phone and emphasizes the importance of having home surveillance cameras.
Residents are encouraged to report any suspicious activity and take precautions to protect their deliveries. Police are urging anyone who may recognize the person in the surveillance video to contact Naugatuck Police. As package thefts continue to rise, it is crucial for communities to remain vigilant and take steps to prevent becoming victims of this crime.
