Package Thief Goes Shopping Around Crown Heights, Community Fumes

by CrownHeights.info

A new weekend, a new package thief in Crown Heights.

A tenacious new package thief has begun shopping in Crown Heights, jumping fences and hopping onto porches in what appears to be a crime spree that lasted an entire weekend.

Hundreds of dollars in packages were swiped by the hat and mask wearing bandit despite being thought safe behind high gates and hidden in alleyways.

Reports of the new thief began surfacing late last week when he was reported riding around Crown Heights on a blue CitiBike. Surveillance footage from the multiple thefts confirmed that it was the same man.

Package thefts have in the community have become so common that many residents have simply given up even reporting the thefts to the police, as nothing appears to happen when they do. Instead, photos of the thieves have begun popping up in building lobbies and taped on doors, either as a way of shaming the thieves or potentially catching them red handed.
