A brazen thief was caught on camera stealing packages from neighbors’ front stoops in West Town – while dressed as a FedEx delivery driver.
As CBS 2’s Marissa Perlman reported Monday night, the thefts happened in seconds. Three neighbors on one street alone say they have fallen victim to the FedEx impostor’s scam – and they all worry thieves are getting more creative to get people’s stuff.
He quickly drops off the empty box, while swiping a package that was on the porch when he arrived. He then takes off – with his Chevrolet Trailblazer sport-utility vehicle having been left running outside.And it looks like this becoming a popular scam. Video shared with us of homeowners on the same street shows another suspect – this time wearing a DHL vest – hopping a fence and canvassing the entire house for packages.
“I’m surprised it happened to us, but I know it’s happening all over the city,” Agley said, “and it’s really distressing.”
