West Shore RCMP are reminding the public of increased parcel thefts, especially around the holidays.
And thanks to home surveillance one of those porch pirates has been nabbed.
In the early afternoon of December 21st, a View Royal homeowners’ surveillance security system captured a thief snatching a package from their front step.
The footage was handed over to the West Shore RCMP who quickly identified the suspect in the video.
Within days, a search warrant was issued and conducted at the suspect’s residence.
The suspect, 29 year-old Barbara Joseph, was arrested on December 23rd.
She has been charged and arrested for Theft of Mail, Fail to Comply with Probation Order and Fail to Comply with Release Order.
