ow I'm trying you're not trying I am ow stop what do you mean stop I'm not doing anything you want to go home unlock the door so we can that get your get your I'm scared over no don't with fewer people going into stores and more people ordering items online it's given rise to a very specific type of thief the porch pirate in today's video we'll see many different types of SC Pirates Who get arrested but what happens when they come face to face with the law let's find out no I told her to check no don't take me in no wait no let go I we're pass what if I what if I for on October 16th 2023 in a Suburban neighborhood of Ohio police were called to investigate a package theft the woman who got her item stolen claims the package was sent to the wrong house and the homeowners are refusing to give it back to her this is and I wouldn't care but it's like $400 worth of stuff it won't show up but so that's their front porch there's the package okay with that little black thing right there yeah and so um you can't get to their front porch because it's gated off so I went to the side door and I knocked m a younger girl came to the door probably close to my size um and I asked for it they they gave me all these we weren't even home blah blah blah blah blah and then she she said okay I said well I'm going to call the police she goes well you can call Victoria Secret and I never once said where it was from I just said a package okay what's inside the package if you don't mind me asking um is it like a whole laundry L of FL oh yeah with delivery services now taking pictures of item drop offs you can't lie about a package being delivered to your address after speaking to to the alleged victim of the crime police must now confront the person who supposedly has the stolen items let's get their side of the story hello I'm all right um so she has a package that got delivered here to my back um so she has pictures that the package was in fact delivered here and it was sitting right on your porch That's what she said okay I was in bed till 12:00 this afternoon with my dogs and as you can see they're very vocal and they were in bed with me and my husband was not here so I believe if the picture shows that the package was here I believer the picture shows that it was here but I don't not know anything else all right who all who all lives here my daughter me and my husband okay would you mind bringing them out also my husband would you mind bring bringing them out also pardon would you mind bringing them out also so I can explain the situation to them also they were in Rocky River get her does this woman really not know anything else or is she lying the police have to investigate who else lives on the property to assess who could have had access to the stolen items hello so does anybody have any idea about this package that got delivered here was a package 100% got delivered here we have P She has pictures of it we know it got delivered here and at some point no when we got home there was here she I don't know answer question no I was in bed till now okay so what's going to happen is I'm giving you guys the opportunity if you guys did take it to just give it back because if you don't I'm going to do a theft report and all three of you going to be listed as suspects so it's going to happen there's a ring doorbell right over there so I'm going to go knock on that door and figure out who came out and picked up that package and whoever did that's going to get charged with a okay the officer's giving a chance to these people because if they can just give the items back he won't have to make an entire police report and officially arrest someone it's a lot to go through over stolen lingerie so either we give it back now nobody gets in trouble or I figure out who stole it and they're going to get charged that's what we're doing okay okay that's how we're going to handle this if we find it and we know who took it it will be returned that's not how we're handling this we find out who took it they're being charged with theft okay we're not doing this oh you got me I'm on camera I took it I'm going to give it back now they're going to be charged with theft I I will arrest them for theft I'm not playing around okay so either give it back now or we're doing I'm listing all three of you as suspects okay okay driver's license all three of them so far the possibility of naming them all suspects doesn't seem to stir any immediate confessions but the officer knows it might instill enough fear for something to happen and he's right I'm kind of waiting to see if they come out with the object be like oh here it is your package is on the way out all right did you hear that yes thank you perfect I'd rather handle it this way I totally agree and then not to uh it was opened not to doubt anything but I'm going to have check to make sure all the contents are in there definitely needs to do that okay perfect and if there is anything I mean we can compensate if that's what needs to be done that'll be between you guys at that point some people don't agree with threatening arrest but sometimes it really works in situations like this when people come to their senses realizing the possible harsh consequences of their actions now the police and the victim have to assess what state the box is in we have had nothing to do with this all right thank you she's going to make sure that all stuff is in here yeah I'm going to go sort of in my I'll just I'll stand by just in case who took the package you took it yeah like it was on your porch and you just grabbed it or like a mistake or something well I just got gra by a mistake by my husband and I'm the one had it on the floor and I never even noticed the name I thought it was my daughter I didn't even look because she does a lot of stuff I don't know about at first this woman said she had no idea about the package but now she seems to know that her husband took it in and she herself apparently put it on the floor have you noticed the daughter hasn't come out yet maybe she's too scared to face the consequences of her actions we did not do anything shady I just said here without looking because I know I didn't order it and I just threw it at her because I didn't look when she heard that when she heard that they would would go to jail no way or though I would no way we weren't going to go to jail for her all right she's missing about five things what she missen I can ask her they're all different itemized things so I will have to tell me I think you need to go ask I suspect Whoever has them knows what they are yeah okay because they're all different things okay so it I would I would have to verify with her exactly what things are missing cuz they're all different I understand this mother wants to protect her daughter by trying to play it off is a mistake but unfortunately her daughter's going to have to face the real world at some point if they can't find the missing items it's going to become more serious and they're not going to like it she said that she has nothing else you need to call Victoria Secret on that one and I believe her because I used to order from Victoria's Secret all the time and the whole order did not come because okay she need to she needs to Che down I used to order and he would get this song so that's what you think is most reasonable yeah most sense to you right now yeah it does because she was scared that she didn't she didn't steal it no through all the victim not only has her electronic shipping receipt but she also has the itemized Company receipt inside the bag it's pretty stupid to continue denying you don't have any other items all you're doing is showing you don't care enough to make things right I understand that but I have actually been it doesn't matter what they're going by what okay I know that Megan said that she didn't have them okay let's talk to Megan where's Megan at why are we even talking to you parents can speak for their children only if they're minors so if Megan the daughter is an adult there's no reason she can't be out here answering the police's questions especially if she's the one responsible for creating this entire situation to begin with here's what we're going to do we're going to give her one chance to get those other items if not we're hooking her up and bringing her in I'm not playing these games that's all come on she said I in there Victoria missed seven items of my stff all right what's your name Megan all right Megan you have one chance to get the stuff you have five items still missing or want they're missing the so ma' what do I do what about Victoria Secret I go to jail for year in package having missing items from Victoria's Secret that's why you don't take in packages that don't belong to you I didn't I threw it down to her and I didn't look at the name because I order too wow I can understand accidentally taking in a package but wouldn't you notice if the items weren't the ones you ordered the most notable thing here is how entitled and disrespectful this woman is and now because Victoria Secret's going to miss I mean I've had seven items basically denied taking it calm down so you denied the whole thing I wasn't even here when it was bag and I made sure and I D no wait a minute David Threw It on floor I had just got out of area and she wasn't even here yet and I threw it downstairs I didn't even look at the name and she knew that I had ordered Victory to wait a minute they didn't even cooperate until you thre into arrest look like exactly what I didn't want my husband going to jail for something I didn't well somebody's going to go to jail you guys obviously aren't fessing up and giving all the items back I'm giving all the items back everything that no hang on everything we got five more that are missing okay I'm telling you Victoria Secret is missing that not me judging by This Woman's loud and erratic Behavior she's either under extreme duress or there might be some other issues going on having a reaction that's this explosive towards police officers is just showing the police that you don't care they've done that you can check my underwear tour you can check everywhere I have nothing but Victoria Secret I get it if it was like one thing but five come I gave seven item sir I will go down there and look again if you want me to I I sure hope you do this is your last chance if you don't come up with those five things you're being arrested why am I being arrested because we're not playing this game she's not playing a game I'm not playing a game I don't have jail I have wait a minute she's got a daughter and I have a new job do with this yes it does I don't want to go back to jail I'll go to prison regardless if you have a daughter or not it's deplorable Behavior Megan says she's already been arrested before which is even more concerning considering she wouldn't cooperate or at least speak to the officers respectfully things then take a turn quickly do you understand why people are I mean stop I'm talking you all shut the separate come down I'm tired Meg come down no I'm not coming down with cops I don't trust you are why why what am I going to do stop come on no what don't touch me don't touch me what am I going to do shut up what am I doing get inside what am I no what are you doing you yelling at taking me to jail they're not arresting her yet they're just detaining her because they can see her behavior is erratic and the cops want to get the situation under control this screaming entitled Thief has no one else to blame but herself for how badly this situation has escalated oh my God stop yall stop please leave me how of hangup since I'm we out I'm seriously going to have an anxiety attack ma'am I don't have your order take a deep breath shut up stop I don't have the order where's the rest of the I don't know I missed seven items out of my order I this is not a first for Victoria Secret stop stop the cops understand when someone's placed in handcuffs they become desperate so now they have to figure out how to deescalate the situation but now the police find out something new about this woman that explains a lot just just let him talk I have I'm bipolar and I'm anxiety bad I take a cou de breath don't want to be in handcuff please I'll be Cal please we were past that brown I doesn't have a license a bid ID he's got a warrant or shoping out of it's out they don't want out want 104 it's out of the pi I want you are you going to be don't scream I swear if you take this tank house off I'll be cooperative no we're past that point you're just be detained for a second it's not a big deal just take a breath notice how all the cops voices are now slow and calm they're setting the example for how they want the tone of the conversation to continue after the woman explains she has mental illness issues they must be careful how they handle the situation so let me get this straight there's 15 items that were handed to you or thrown to you no they were down there when I got home I understand I was just told to put them away I didn't I just threw them out all I'm trying to do now is honestly he showed up first he got to talk you I really didn't get to hear the whole thing I just want to hear a little bit more like there that's all I know I was really hurt my it were gone through stand up so did you like did you open them up and look through them or something take them off I'll be I'll be don't pull them K be taken off this is ridic Rel relax just like that you'll be fine I cannot relax with it you have what kind of experience I've had if the package was taken only hours ago it's strange that she doesn't know where the five items are police know that when someone's this desperate to get out of handcuffs they might try to run since this Situation's becoming very serious police have to talk to the neighbor to see what she wants to do about it all I would have never got it back if you guys didn't come here so she would have freely taken my stuff right so yeah so your options here is again we go with theft and the best evidence we have is that she took those items or if you think you've got most of it you could get you know Reach Out Victoria Secret explain the situation and if they would replace it I have no idea if they would do that or or what but I'm just from if I'm in your shoes those are my two directions I can go uh you just got to tell us what you want to do so we know what to do next and by contous too because this girl is trouble my question to you is um do you order stuff from Victoria Secret frequently yeah I mean I yeah how often do you have problems with them not fulfilling order never I mean I'm an avid online Shopper so you know I mean I you don't usually there's not stuff missing the woman has a tough decision to make does she let this woman get away with what she's done without consequences or does she tell the officers she wants to press charges I mean I think that she took my stuff and that she was going to keep it obviously I mean I said I'm going to call the Bo and they I mean there's no way that you open up all that stuff and you you don't realize what you order so so she did it yeah I want to F service just stay sitting me I don't know just take a breath just take a breath we'll figure it out not promise you Victoria Secret has missed seven eyes my my sh before I'm not lying over this well that's what we're figuring out right I don't want to go I'll go to prison I'm on building probation oh I see no well no I'm actually I think I'm off that yeah I don't think yeah yeah I'm off oh yeah not I'm so used to I'm so used to be in op probation that's so bad seems like she's having a hard time keeping track of all of her run-ins with the law this thief's extreme mood swings are something the police are going to have to get ready for when they tell her the woman wants to press charges you're coming in for what I mom mom mom go check my drawer go check my drawer no can I go check my drawer I can I promise you I can probably find them oh you remember where it's at now no I promise I probably I said they're deep can you take this out let's go no you're staying in the C let's go look you go with her mom can she go with me let's go we all go how about that it'll be a big family party come on stop yell please please no I asked him if I could go in there talking the same volume she's talking okay calm down go me they want to take me in for theft can you let go of my arm please so I can look can you open yeah it's it antique that's not mine mom you didn't look is there's not there's stuff in here that's not mine now this woman knows exactly what belongs to her and what doesn't that quickly it just goes to show the officers that she knew she was lying the entire time and thought she could get away with it five five more item we got there is there something else no there's nothing else I swear to God here check in there's just one item missing what how do you know what she's missing what is she missing exactly does she have the order are you guys serious we're just she's bipolar sorry there's four items here anxiety there's one missing he don't want Shir or something the woman got four more of the items back which leaves one unaccounted for and she decides she still wants to press charges knowing how the suspect will most likely react to this news the cops have to prepare themselves for anything all right so she still wants a Desir prosecution for the one item that's missing are you kidding me I don't have it the thing is we had to go through all of this just to even get the package back told to no I told her to check no don't take me in no wait let go we're pass what if I help you're hurting what if I paid for no hand let go okay what is going to happen is this the underwear you gave me Mom for how long ma'am isn't if it's a pink pair ask her if it's a pink pair underwear ask her I'm wearing them oh my ask her if it's a pink pair underwear I'll take them off just for no no Mom you gave me a pink pair of underwear is that coming out of the package did it yeah yeah it did ma'am I have him can you please tell her maam I have him put her can you please I don't have any shoes on Mom Mom I don't wear can you please tell her yeah bring some damn shoes can you please tell her what am I being taken to jail for why my mom put him in my room out you're stuck on my foot mom take a seat it's hard to tell what the mother knew or didn't know or how much she's been protecting her daughter this entire time what do you think of this situation do you think the woman deserved to go to jail for this ultimately the woman was charged with theft get ready for our next porch pirate because things get crazy as you may know theft is at its highest during the holidays so it's no surprise that on December 23rd 2021 officers responded to calls from multiple neighbors telling them someone was stealing packages so they start getting witness statements to try and locate the alleged thief the him picking up the package is on our ring and I have to see how how I can share that okay I know if there should be a a little package and he put it under his shirt and then he walked away okay he came several times at one point he tried with a key to unlock our door okay and he does not he shouldn't have a key to your house no no no we don't know who he is okay have you ever seen them around the neighborhood no we're we're not there that often mhm we just moved in a month ago yes ma'am I'm sorry one of the times that he came over the last time he went and he went towards our backyard and he didn't go into the backyard but he went all the way up to the gate this is important information because this lets the officer know this is not just someone looking to steal things but also trying to break into people's homes which is of course an entirely different charge and way more serious police get a hold of the Ring camera footage to check the police locate the suspect and detain him they want to make sure it's the right guy and they need to figure out where the stolen items are will the police get a confession somebody please call my mom and let her know that I'm going to jail for some reason stand up no don't touch me don't touch me stand up don't touch me bro dude why you making it harder than you have what do you mean I can't well put your legs through your arms ow I'm trying you're not trying I am ow stop what do you mean stop I'm not doing anything my hips no my hips are wide your arms through I'm trying holy sh you you going to be able to sit down and put your your legs back I hurt so bad right now oh my God oh God it doesn't look like this suspect's going to go down easy when faced with arrest most people will try and do anything to get out of the situation but they don't know it only makes their life worse and incurs bigger charges against them ow I can't ow holy oh my God can you just uncuff it for a second there's three we're not going to uncuff it holy sh that hurts what is your issue what do you mean what is my issue one I'm going to jail for no reason two y'all are trying to rip my hand off stand up or we're going to get a van and shove you into a van I'm trying to oh my God can I sit down real quick God cuz that hurts fix your hand can you just walk that way like that yeah sure perfect let's do that then oh my God this sh crazy this Fu crazy holy a lot of times people try to get out of handcuffs for all sorts of reasons but mainly it's because they want to run away but no matter what gymnastics positions this man puts himself in the police are not going to let him go you got anything on your man yeah I hav't search yet oh wait any needles or anything no yeah cuz shoot up it's easy yes or no do you have something yes or no whoa that's I got to search you dude you don't have to grab my no you don't have what are you doing I'm stop restraining I'm not restraining my arms are tight are handcuffed under my legs how the am I restraining how am I restraining stop how am I fighting I'm not restraining I'm not fighting I'm not doing anything I try to go for his waistline many times suspects like this are on drugs or alcohol and it can definitely get dangerous if the suspect becomes violent or has some sort of reaction while in police custody I don't care what of all right we'll keep grabbing might get hard for you might like it sex get off my he just tried to put his finger in my bro bro get off my ass hey y hey y videotape this these police are trying to stick their finger in my ass nothing I don't have anything in my come on so they got to search you come on now come on come on now I am I am sear your car really well and then we're going all right if there's anything in that car when we get out it's yours though you understand that no hell no a't y'all just search me twice notice the man has white liquid coming out of his mouth and he's covered in dirt it all points to signs of someone who's not in a great mental state but in order to load him into the car they have to get him to release his pretzel position all right we're giving you fair warning I can't ow ow thisen listen man I'm I'm going to turn you around and sit on your butt okay let me let me get my arms God damn [Music] it how you even I don't know godam it there you go there you go holy [ __ ] Christ not search me not search me that car going to be mine search me ain't nothing in that car going to be mine why are you tightening the Cuffs what's that for so that way they don't slip all the way around oh my God if they could have did that they would have been did that I want you to search me because I'm not not taking responsibility for anything that's in that vehicle seems like it was pretty easy to just move his hands back by law if you're in possession of a car and someone searches that car and finds illegal items inside you're responsible for those items we got ringing the doorbell take your shoes know that there that she's got three packages that have been sitting outside her front porch for 4 days all right but goes in first that's what I'm going to jail for letting her know that she's got packages that have been outside her door for days now go back that way this is great this is awesome playing the innocent victim it's a tactic that never works he was quote just letting the woman know she had packages a piece of advice here don't lie if you know you were caught on camera it just makes you look stupid godam it man damn it man stop kicking I'm not kicking I ain't kick I don't understand this I don't understand this [ __ ] I don't understand this [ __ ] I don't understand this I don't understand this I don't understand this don't understand this does he not understand that stealing items from people's porches is illegal and that when you do something illegal you'll be arrested and taken to jail playing dumb can only take you so far and when he gets to a holding cell he pulls more for what though I didn't burglarize anything though that's I don't get it these officers you told me that I could talk you told me I'd be able to call my mom when I got when we got here and you started getting super nasty with call me n nasty because you just arrested me for no reason for something that I didn't do so she goes to a call finds prob cuse for anybody for whatever reason and then other people go pick that person up I get somebody like her went to a call you with a burglary I don't get it I looked se you had a warrant so I can't picked you up I don't get it it doesn't doesn't make sense cuz somebody like her is not going to find probable cause for a burgly for what I did because I rang a doorbell and I spoke to the lady and told her that I was from across the street the Waterworks are definitely not going to get him a get out of jail free card based on the evidence and the witness testimony using a key to try to open someone's front door without permission is enough reason to be arrested that's a serious and scary crime there's there's video not me taking anything no video of me taking anything I'm not going to go back and forth but the video shows that you did take something okay does all right go ahead and get up doesn't I brought something there I brought something I brought a weed eater there okay yeah hold he stop it stop what the hell after your damn age get he's acting like a spoiled toddler that didn't get the toy he wanted maybe that behavior works at home to get his mother to let him do whatever he wants but these guys are the police and they don't mess around I just got out from doing my third prison bed you stop it I get it I get it get it get it get it I don't get it me get up I don't get it let's go hurry up I don't get it I don't get it I don't get it I don't get it I don't get it the man's repetitive words and different voices are either because of drugs or a mental health issue the cops think the Situation's under control but when they open the doors back up they're faced with an entirely different situation hey man hey minutes actually just got flag myrent call me on flag down whether this man's faking it or not it's unfortunate this situation had to get to this point the man was charged with burglary of a dwelling resisting an officer with violence and escape from transport stick around because you won't believe what the next porch pirate does to escape on a Friday afternoon in Lynwood California police were notified of a female and a male who were stealing items from people's porches police successfully locate the individuals and take the male and the passenger seat out of the car but when they try and confront the driver things turn very scary you want to go home unlock the door so we can that get your get your I'm scared offer unlock the door no [Music] don't get hey he just hit she just hit 118 108 108 eastbound J eastbound J Central 7 ambulance right now I got him I got him I got him wow that's not only terrifying but insane insane Behavior it's important in situations like this that police officers confiscate the keys from the driver so they can't do exactly what this woman just did and now the fate of this police officer hangs in the balance because of porch piracy hold on hold on don't it up she ran over shut up y the got to just help me with my car wait stay with call the ambulance call the ambulance we got him we got him don't move dude don't move don't don't move don't move that just ran him he should have shot her should have shot and he going to say he don't know who she is witness is talking about the male suspect who's been laying in handcuffs on the ground behind them this entire time over the the radio they're sending units out to pursue the female suspect but the first priority is ensuring the police officer okay lit hit this man you need some water or anything man God damn don't move don't move chill hey 170 you available Cay that just literally hit him she act like she she was on some drugs man yeah yeah she's yeah him too yeah I know we we got him I can tell how she see if so Viller has a unit to come over here listen that package was on the porch when we came here now it's on the [ __ ] first of all they pulled in this driveway nobody even live here it's very important for the officer who wasn't hurt to be a strong support system and keep calm when talking to the injured officer this keeps the situation under control and make sure the injured person does not start panicking he got hit pretty hard by a girl who took off how you doing what hurt I'm I'm I don't know you don't know my legs my hip Che how's your head neck and back I don't know 66 um okay okay going towood back down here she hit him head on unit from your AG the car hit him head on with a possible back or neck injury it's extremely important they transport him safely so as Not to cause further injury they asked the officer to move his toes to make sure he doesn't have nerve damage that could cause him to become paralyzed I know why I didn't shoot him sorry Sergeant dude she's she's cracked out man I know you did nothing wrong it's normal to think about everything you could have done to avoid this situation well what do you think do you think the officer should have shot the suspect as she was driving away while the paramedics attend to the officer they also have to deal with the other suspect well I can show you the house where we was at come on man stand stand up I promise I can show you the house down the street where she said where she was hanging out with her three right behind me hey man want work all right Melissa C is is what your sh name was bro see the house you got you got any you got needles on you or crack pipes no I I'm not she she's got the crack pipe on it bro that's why so many people warn others to not do drugs it's a slippery slope and once you get addicted it's easy to fall into situations like this and after hitting a police officer and then running away the charges the woman will face when they catch her will be extremely high what's her name Melissa Cynthia what is it Melissa CN Cynthia okay and it's like you know where that PK Pantry at yeah behind there is where we was hanging out and she said it was a friend's house what you at your mouth nothing nothing who's a friend uh her name is Katie and jug these two dudes they were all smoking and sniffing all right okay One symptom of being on crystal meth is muscle spasms this man's jaw is clenching because he's most likely tweaking and when you're high it causes you to grind your teeth together got one on the W of one female white he rale cust receive one female in custody on the East ramp thank you my body camera taser deployed taser deployed you dropped your body camera inot Pursuit over the radio you can hear they caught the woman but they had to chase her by car foot and had to deploy a taser these officers can rest easy knowing that she's in police custody and can no longer hurt anyone when another officer arrives we learn more about what preceded this almost deadly situation I'm just worried about him I don't know he talking and stuff yeah he's talking but he's he's he's hurt dude she I mean right I mean the neighbors even ran over and they're going to beat him up for us where right right here in the yard so we had them blocked in the driveway they're they're backing in pulling in the people yeah so he had them blocked so it was right next to the squad car you see the tire marks yeah I'm I'm going to photograph it quick with my uh camera it's extremely important the police gather all evidence so they can later use it in court this will no doubt be one of those cases that the entire community and police department will be paying attention to we have a no chase policy but I'll take paper for this actually this isn't even included in our policy but think I rob me up for that I said keep chasing him who chased huh Anthony he we all got at the same time B she was taken off I was chasing I was running after her he came right behind her I said keep pursuing her sometimes police departments have a no chase policy for certain crimes and it's usually to avoid situations like this that can injure police or cause innocent banders harm what do you think should the cops have continued to pursue her the woman was charged with attempted first-degree murder and aggravated battery of a police officer the man was charged with theft and had an additional warrant for his arrest the offic that was hit by the car was released after being treated for his injuries this next porch pirate seems to be very Cooperative at first but that doesn't make him any less guilty in February of this year police in Groveland Florida received word that a man was stealing items from a porch they then confront a suspect matching the description do you got an ID on you real quick do you mind if we talk to you real quick you got any weapons onway no about you down um got my uh a sword with me I down make sure what I do nothing now it's very important that the police search the individual for many reasons but right now it's to see if he has any stolen items on him or if he has any other illegal items or substances keep your hands what you got don't reach keep your hands W reach there [Music] yeah oh is this a crack pipe no no do mind if we reaching and get it no okay go ahead and get it some stuff I found in the G now that they found something illegal on the suspect they're able to detain him for further questioning and if we know anything from our last videos it's that these type of suspects do not like to be in handcuffs and anything can happen yeah we're going to we're going to put you in the backseat of my car why do I have to go in the back seat because you have a meth pipe on you bro okay so let's go on and have a seat what did I do though for you to stop and do this to me here on something else and I ask you if you minded talking to me said okay now that they have the suspect in the back of the squad car the police can now freely search his vehicle and not worry about the suspect running away but a woman approaches them and interrupts their search do you know him yeah okay who is he do you boyfriend your boyfriend okay um what's going on We're just trying to we saw him hanging out here we asked him if we could talk to him and he has a little bit of dope in his pocket or a me pipe in his pocket so we're just going to hang on him and I need to talk to you about the vehicle and all that stuff okay okay okay the police are making sure to keep things calm and Cooperative because they don't want to tip the porch thieves off that they know way more than they're letting on about both these people the woman allows police to search her vehicle for the stolen Nike package because she thinks they're only there for her boyfriend tell tell me what happened today before you came to work today like he called me [ __ ] I thought him said look that's the last thing I want to remember my my days here on Earth I have stage cancer that's the last thing I want to remember somebody calling me names yeah so so that happened and then what did yall do I moved out of the house okay and then what did you do like I went to my mother's house okay other than that I came straight to work after going to my mother's okay what time was that I went to my mother's probably around 10 this morning as soon as I woke up I got called a stupid [ __ ] so I'm like you know what what time did you come to work 5 your shift started at 5 p.m there's a large portion of the day she cannot account for before a shift and they need to interrogate her further about her involvement in the thefts so you were at your mom's house between 10: and 5:00 p.m. absolutely okay okay so I haven't left my mother's house so time to come to work so what yes okay so what have I told you I have video footage of you taking some packages off a porch in the city of grov I say it's not me it's okay it's not you what about yesterday yesterday yeah what were you doing what did you do yesterday um yesterday we rode around him looking for a job other than that pretty much nothing I mean I went to a couple drop boxes drop boxes where yeah it's like where they put the clothes outside okay and if it's on the outside you're able to have it yeah yeah yeah yeah I'm I'm not worried about that uh what what about yesterday what 5ish like around 5:30 5:30 they like garbage hunting this woman is clearly in denial I say this over and over again if the police ask you questions don't lie it just shows them that you aren't trustworthy let's see what happens when the police show her the evidence you want to go ahead and show her course yeah please do hey if you just want to be honest with us I mean we're just trying to figure out what's going on I'm being honest I'm my garbage hunting okay I mean so you never went on anybody's porch you never you never really listen I'll be I'll be honest with you right you can tell us the truth I'm telling you the truth I never went on anyone's porch I have you here oh this is you show me the footage that you have me going on someone's fors going to is that not you cuz it looks like you we know now the excuse is he made her do it she doesn't look underd dress to me and I have a hard time believing someone forced her to become a porch pirate she just wants to blame it all on someone else but the police are ready for her lies because she doesn't know that they know the truth you changed up real fast I didn't want so he made you do it he make you do it today too no I I didn't do anything today I came straight to work I I have the same vehicle listen I have the same vehicle I have somebody that matches your description doing the same thing on doorbell camera we I I today I swear to God I went from that place to my mother's and I've stayed at my mother's my mother has camera footage of me being in her house the whole time she yeah she has to R why is the same vehicle I have no idea my but he was with you when you did it the other day when he made me do it yesterday yeah okay okay B turn around put James back can I go get my person can you guys let my some people think that if they blame someone else for their actions then the police will have to let them go that's not how the law works it doesn't matter even if someone told you to do something you're still the one that did it you committed the crime you do the time because some packages were stolen and it is kids place you understand that for kids so you want me to have sympathy for you those are another you can't have sympathy for the kids I but you took their clothes you took their package you want to stuff her in your car so that way the packages the clo the CL real fast while I'm sorry to interrupt did you put anything in here IL legal cuz I saw when we came out here and you came back there you went right back there and you started putting stuff in your purse so in there belong to anything else officers know drug users like to hang out together and they want to make sure before taking her into custody that there isn't anything else she's hiding we know what was happening okay so again that's why you see all the observations made okay so there's meth in here how much okay perfect all right and that's what you want to put in there when we told you no I actually just walked in the lady would have told you that I stck there the police want the woman to tell them where the stolen boxes are so they can bring them in for evidence and if they're unopened they can return them to the rightful owners question I left I left everything where's where are they where's it's where we were staying 209 they're in that house they're outside that house all of them the one from yesterday and the one from today yes I didn't have any today I haven't you just said you I haven't been anywhere today call my mother ask my mother I just asked you both of the packages from yesterday and today but I didn't take anything today I haven't been anywhere today because of the drugs they found on this woman it wouldn't surprise me if she didn't realize she'd already told the police she was involved and forgot do you think she's lying when they take her to the squad car that's when the woman's Behavior gets more erratic a female officer we don't have a female officer man well our male officer female officer because you guys are being rude to me I just asked if I could walk my car that's all I did so real fast cuz again he was still in there with with the uh paraphernalia in your car so again I got to make you guys can have the key I just wanted to see if I could walk it so so hold on one second are you listen you we're done but right now we have no fenos on ship okay so right now he's going to search you he's going to use the back of his hand for our policy you're not allow do that against the law no it's not so he's going to search you so you can be cooperative or you can I'll be cooperative I mean I don't have problem it's all on camera as well that's right if you're going to argue with a police officer about the law you better really know the law and this woman doesn't seem like a law expert when will people learn that there are cameras watching almost everything we do right now although that might seem scary it definitely catches Liars very quickly on January 6th 2023 the Palm Coast Florida police received a call about a man that had been going through people's porch packages and had stolen water bottles when the police arrived they catch the suspect in a very incriminating act did you call do you live here okay any chance you were out here a little bit ago far okay is right if you come down I can talk to you the male suspect says he was just taking a walk and was trying to get back into his daughter's house well I guess that's one way to re-enter a house but obviously we're not buying it and neither is the officer since none of the neighbors say the suspect is from the neighborhood do you have any ID with you no ssts what's that I got up stairs okay all right you got no weapons on your right is it okay if my partner patch you down while I get your name May anything stick me pick me poke me explosive bomb missiles no sir and what was your first name sir car Gonzalez and this is your daughters out she said yes officers want to remain calm so the suspect keeps cooperating and doesn't get scared enough to take off running the officers first need to find out who they're talking to so they can run a quick ID check on the suspect and determine what he's really doing in this neighborhood uh you say you just took a walk yeah I went got a ladder I can get up at these was the any chance the ladder was from a neighbor's property no sir no someone came out and said something and I told him who I was the king and you know not and that was it 2 seconds was there a chance did you see anybody else out here no sir I didn't not a big deal obviously no okay I looked at it and whatnot there was nobody there yeah but I didn't take it he took back inside and someone did say I could have it but when he came off I left the said you going to have the water yes this suspect seems to be exhibiting behavior that most psychologists would call paltering paltering is when someone uses a little bit of Truth when telling a bigger lie police are well aware that compulsive liars use this tactic in hopes of misleading the police thought you said b z I'm not sure how to spell her last uh marriage thing okay they as in there's more than one person and what's his name Jose is that who has the Banas last name what's wrong no I just hope what do you mean SE no I'm just was I it's a be you know it's a bread and breakfast I was supposed to come there and whatnot and stay with them had to ke the window open so I went in yada yada Y and here we are now why the hell would you use the window because they said they didn't have keeth because everyone's gone okay let me get this straight his daughter has a married name he doesn't know how to spell but then he later calls her husband or boyfriend maybe I can buy that mistake but what I don't buy is getting a ladder and breaking into a house at night so why are you concerned that you're daughter and her boyfriend set you up no that's what she said right so you worried they set you up or something what's the matter no it is what it is so I don't really believe the story you're telling me is 100% truthful so why don't we start over no that's where I'm at you know what's your daughter's name marene where's your daughter live I know she was out here she met me out here with where are they at now went okay where' she live her boyfriend do what her boyfriend where's her boyfriend live I I have no idea I'm coming from okay they coming from day okay while one of the officers goes to the car to check the man's identity the other officer has to keep the suspect talking keeping the man talking also keeps him from running it also hopefully allows the officers to continue to poke holes in the man's lies what are you walking up here from Daytona for uh okay so you decide to sneak into a gated community and enter a house that doesn't belong to you had it out come on man you think you think this is my first day on the job I like that I mean I'm going to tell you right now I don't believe a word it's coming out of your mouth I saw you walking on A1A about 5 hours ago for a cop it's a balancing act between putting pressure on the suspect and simultaneously making sure the situation doesn't escalate I'm just trying to clarify what I got here right I got to come out I got to make sense of what we got abs so you guys didn't have the keys you you don't different um so luckily we had this ladder at this fed and breakfast here made entrance through the window and in that time they decide to go get breakfast yeah okay what do they drive or something a forward you don't and you couldn't spell your daughter's last name oh another tactic police Police use is to repeat the previous answers a suspect has given them to point out the areas they know might be lies they also want to see how the suspect reacts to those answers as Sometimes they come up with new details that point them in a more truthful direction would you agree this is kind of unusual no yeah believe me or what's your daughter's phone number I don't know so how' you get in touch with your daughter to be able to come to this bed and breakfast AR and how did you make those arrangements using someone else's phone so you called your daughter using someone else's phone and what number did you dial to call your daughter I'm not going to get Ang sounds like a guilty conscience to Me Maybe This Man doesn't have the mental stamina to keep lying anymore but if he wants to get arrested he should just confess and make everyone's life easy here based on the story you're telling us why on Earth would we take you to jail why would someone go to jail for going to bed and breakfast with their daughter I don't know that's my what's that Mario who's that my brother okay I didn't know why you getting angry with us I know that was your brother I just the way you said it just seemed like I was supposed to know it so I I just didn't know that so what what would Mario be able to help us understand cuz it's the first time hearing of Mario this man is really not making any sense instead of just confessing to what he's done he just seems irritated that the police are talking to him to begin with the police still don't know who this man really is and they really want to locate his ID let me ask she told this de that your ID and your wallet's up in the in the house right oh your ID is up in the house I have an ID card and it's in the house so when we go in that house we're going to find your ID where is it should be in my where ins my book instead of The Quiet Cooperative man he seemingly was before this suspect's attitude has taken a full 180 he knows the officers are on to him he just doesn't want to give them what they want but the officers are not backing down of course when we go in there there'll be some luggage your daughter's luggage your luggage maybe her boyfriend's luggage my book bag and things that I have that's it and their stuff should be in there too I'm gu no why wouldn't their stuff be in there if they're staying here for the weekend or something I just feel like if I went with three people other two people have some same thing D are you getting bored of this they're G yeah I understand they went to get breakfast where they go to get breakfast so they just leave you at a place that they have no keys to they have nothing to do you said she rented right she rent for you see she rent that's what you told us on camera that she rented the place for you the officers have had enough of this man's lies nothing he says makes any sense and everyone including himself knows it someone breaking into a house at night is a scary thought for homeowners thankfully the cops caught him and this porch pirate got what he deserved he was charged with two counts of burglary of a dwelling criminal mischief and petty theft we save the best for last our final porch pirate is another holiday thief on December 18th 2021 the police were called in Athens Georgia apparently an individual was stealing packages from a doorstep based on the description of the suspect and the vehicle an officer pulls him over hey how we doing today hey we're doing pretty good how you doing doing well you got your driver's license on your server yeah and can I ask what you're doing today um I'm driving home I just got back from work okay driving home yes where do you stay at and you said you're getting off work where's work at so what are you doing over here then um I'm driving through I got to meet a friend um right at Five Points and I usually drop off stuff we're doing a secret santa kind of deal so I got to go get Condor Cho why don't you stop back there back here yeah because there were so many up in front of me I was trying to make sure that I wasn't like getting in everybody's way nobody was pulling up in front of you you stopped turn on your hazards and then I passed you the officer uses a flashlight to see if any other reported stolen items are visible in the back seat this is called the Plain View Doctrine and this allows officers to seize evidence of a crime without a warrant when the evidence is clearly visible to them all right dark care black covered mask black T-shirt you want to go ahead and step out you can leave it on off however you want to do it I'm just going to roll this up so it doesn't get way okay let me tell you what's going on okay so you're well aware we have lots of video footage from people stealing packages um you're wearing exactly what they just described as a theft that took place 3 4 minutes ago oh yeah yeah black shirt short sleeve Black Mask the photos that we have from The Ring cameras look exactly like you and you're driving the same car with the same Chrome outline on the Windows as what we have so right now you're fitting our suspect description very well you're in the area and it just occurred and you stopped in front of that other house that had two baggages on the front porch a face mask is not enough to cover up your identity especially if your car is also visible on the camera I mean it's brazenly stupid and now this kid's going to have to face the law so therefore we're going to investigate this a little further we're going to figure out what exactly is going on okay and um we're probably going to end up searching the car your car to see if the package is in there the one that was just stolen so do you have anything in the car that I need to know about or do you want to go ahead and come clean and say yeah I just took that package out the porch or is there anything you want to say to kind of defend yourself right now um well I will say I did take a package okay um my house way back there on the ways yeah just a couple minutes ago right yes mhm um you still have that package in your car yeah okay sounds good go ahead and put your hands behind your back real quick as of now the man's being cooperative because the suspect's being detained the officer reads him as mirander rights and informs other units of the pre-arrest confession so they can come search the car so like I said we have a bunch of different uh video footage of somebody that looks an awfully lot like you and the vehicle that matches perfectly to everything that we have from ring cameras and stuff so with that in mind is there any other thefts that you have committed within the past couple days not that you're aware of okay and if we go through your car right now we're not going to find anything other than whatever you stole today correct okay well yeah I don't need your permission at this point that's a lot of stuff for uh just one porch oh that's a lot of packages [Music] we'll be taking all this well you don't know what's in the box till you open it so oh yeah he knew it was you're right basically all that is is that a detective that has already looked at the cases that's more familiar with him cuz I'm not um they can actually ask you questions that are related to it instead of me just spitting out stuff that I know nothing about I mean honestly like I do want to talk to them okay I don't know if I necessar the house or anything but hey my guy be honest is that the only house you want to honestly I CU I've got several different addresses right here um I don't want to say anything the suspect doesn't want to talk anymore is it because he knows there's an avalanche of evidence coming his way the police must now search the entire car and bag all relevant items to be taken into evidence so they can l later be used in court and they find some interesting items I mean they brand new ain't got no mud no dirt no nothing I would think that would probably have popped out of a package too take them not use stuff we'll take all that and put it in evidence to anything unopened that look new credit cards licenses no not that we haven't found anything like that yet we took everything so this lipstick you think this is taken too it's new looks like it hold on yeah so we'll take this too why you don't think that's his lipstick oh it might be you want to ask him now that the officers have taken all the suspicious items they transport the suspect to the police precinct in order for a detective to interview him and this is when he explains to the police what motivated him to become a holiday Thief what's going on man why are you taking people's packages I mean that's that's the main thing is why cuz you know most of the time it's like dog food and right yeah so are you down on your luck are you I mean what's the deal I don't know it's hard to I mean it's I guess it's not hard to um the biggest thing is like I have to afford school okay and you know I just am struggling and I mean that makes sense so you're it's a financial thing you're looking for stuff of value I don't know I we ever been in trouble before no I'm like I mean not great student but like good student a lot of people go through hard times but that doesn't give you the right to steal items from innocent people based on what he's already lied about I think he has way more to hide and this detective is going to find out what it is I did a real quick look and there was stuff in your car from four different houses packages and there's mail too are you taking out of mailboxes as well I'm I don't okay I mean I mean so I mean I let me let me show you this oh let me show you a couple things I mean have you seen the videos have the officer showed you any videos yet um I saw one of the videos that's yesterday that's you is it not I mean it looks just like you so that's you um see where there's one more on here not everybody has a ring camera but they're they're kind of they're becoming more and more common yeah so there's that one and there's this neighbors app and people post videos on here this right here I mean right there I I can tell that you just just by the hair alone man so we got those two um we got the one today is is there any is any of the stuff that you've been stealing from these mailboxes at your house what was that is there anything at your house from these mailboxes should be so everything should be in your car nothing else um is anybody else working with you or you just doing this alone no God no I by myself what this Punk doesn't know is that the cop are already working on a search warrant for his apartment so he can lie all he wants now but the truth will eventually come out the suspect is questioned further about some specific items they found so I know the packages are from porches but what about the mail are you checking people's mailboxes too I don't really want to talk about that's fine um let me ask you this you stolen anything out of a car recently I don't even know because we had a girl's laptop stolen from her car the other day and it was pinging you know you know how Apple product work it was pinging right there at your house I I'm just now putting all this together when we search your house are we going to find that girl's laptop you might okay another girl in that same area had her um debit card stolen and someone tried to use it at an ATM no I'm well I didn't know is that going to be you no I don't that's like you didn't try to use anybody's card at an ATM no remember okay um but we might find that girl laptop did you take it from that car yourself yes okay is that the first time you've ever taken it from a car yes he thinks it's awful if someone tries to use a stolen ATM card to get money but it's okay to break into someone's car and steal their laptop and the reason the officer is asking about the mail letters is because opening personal mail is a felony charge and the federal government takes that crime very seriously you're down on your luck you're taking packages I mean have you sold anything yet no I that's the thing I I don't I had never really wanted to sell anything or anything like that it was just it's like Christmas time and you're going to regi stuff potentially okay but you haven't sold anything yet is this just something you did at Spur the moment it was honestly like I saw a package and I was like how long have you been doing this man not very long it was pretty a week two weeks maybe like a week so other than that girl stolen computer are we going to find anything else in your apartment that anything else illegal no more packages all right plenty of Thieves say this isn't something I normally do but if you're sitting in a police station for a crime like this chances are this is exactly what you normally do the officer arrests the suspect and sends a unit over to search the man's apartment not County police with a search warrant Clark County police search warrant anybody inside let us know now where we'll come back and get the backs Clark County Police Department search War Police Department search War anybody inside let us know now do we know which one room is his mm CL on police search War gu I probably leave that open if I cany police with a search warrant you're here let me know when officers finish searching the man's apartment they find more Amazon packages laptops coats a liquor bottle and many other stolen items thankfully these
