Incident Description:
My neighbor sends me a ring video of a person taking my Amazon package off of the front porch at 4:55pm, I am not home at the time. This person is white male, 5’10”-5’11”, 160lbs, aged 30-35, slim to average build, wearing blue gloves, a grey sweatshirt, black beanie,
black pants, wearing a black and red backpack with a red capital A on it and a light blue zipper. He was riding an old grey bicycle in the video. I have pictures and video of this person. I came home 1 hour later and pulled the car into my secured and gated parking lot. I walk up the parking lot stairs to my back patio/porch where my family and I keep our outside equipment. There I see that my brand new 1450.00 dollar Turquiose blue Specialized bicycle has been stolen as well. The parking lot is secured by a metal 6ft tall fence, the bars seemed to have been pulled and pried open so someone could get in. I don’t know how the person was able to get my bicycle over the metal fence. Again, I have a video of the possible offender and the package theft.
