Police Search for ‘Porch Pirates' Stealing Packages in Woodbridge

Police in Woodbridge are investigating after several packages were stolen from front porches on Wednesday afternoon and they have released video in hopes of making an arrest. 

Several UPS, FedEx and U.S. Postal Services packages were stolen between noon and 3 p.m. on Wednesday, according to police. 

Investigators have security camera footage from one of the victims and it shows a four-door tan Oldsmobile Alero with a spoiler and a plastic bag over the driver’s side window. It appears to have Connecticut license plates. 

The video shows two people in the vehicle – and the front-seat passenger gets out of the car and rings the doorbell. When he believes no one is home, he takes the packages and places them in his vehicle, police said. 

All of the incidents were in the area of Route 313, which connects New Haven to Seymour and Ansonia. 

Police are trying to find the vehicle and the people inside it. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Woodbridge Police Department’s Investigative Services Unit 203-287-2511 Ext 113 or 118.
