NORWOOD, Mass. (WHDH) — A suspect was arrested in Norwood after police said he stole several packages off residents’ doorsteps.
According to police, an “alert citizen” called to report what they believed to be someone stealing a package from their neighbor’s doorstep. The witness gave police a description of the suspect and vehicle, as well as a license plate number.
The suspect was found not long after and arrested. He told police the packages were from his girlfriend, who was delivering them for Amazon. Police said they determined the packages in his car and home had all been stolen. Police said the packages found in his home were located under the Christmas tree.
Among the items stolen from doorsteps were a Barbie doll, an HDTV antenna and a winter coat.
Police officers spent much of Wednesday morning in “their black and white sleighs” returning the stolen packages to the residents.
