New York prosecutors claim to have broken up a highly organized group responsible for stealing packages from unsuspecting homeowners. The group, dubbed "porch pirates," targeted FedEx deliveries containing sensitive electronics like laptops and tablets.
According to the indictment, 14 individuals were involved in this operation, allegedly working together to steal packages from porches across New York State. Prosecutors say these thieves are highly sophisticated, often using coordinated attacks to snatch packages from unsuspecting victims.
The scope of this ring is staggering, with prosecutors suggesting that hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of electronic devices were stolen through their nefarious activities. FedEx has reported a significant increase in package thefts in recent years, prompting the company to take steps to protect its deliveries.
Law enforcement officials say they have been working tirelessly to dismantle this group and bring those responsible to justice. The indictment marks a major milestone in this ongoing effort, with prosecutors vowing to continue cracking down on these brazen thieves.
