A woman was caught on video following a United Parcel Service (UPS) truck Saturday in Albuquerque, New Mexico, to steal a package minutes after it was delivered, the intended recipient said.
Minh Nim expected to see a package on his doorstep Saturday upon returning home from work, but he was surprised to find that it was nowhere in sight. Nim said he lost $100 worth of merchandise due to porch pirating, which is when a person steals a package from the intended recipient’s doorstep or porch.
Security cameras outside of Nim’s home, which he’s resided at for nine years, managed to catch the unidentified woman in the act. The footage shows a white, blonde woman smoking a cigarette as she casually approaches Nim’s home to take his package nearly three minutes after the delivery was made. She’s then seen walking away with the homeowner’s package.
