MILTON, Ga. — Police responded to two incidents of porch piracy, one on Haven Terrace and another on Belleterre Drive.
In a Dec. 12 incident, a Milton man told police he received a video doorbell notification of a package delivery at around 5 p.m. on Haven Terrace and another soon after showing a person had taken two packages from his doorstep.
According to the incident report, the first video shows a Fedex delivery driver dropping packages on the front door step. The second shows a light-skinned Black or Hispanic woman wearing a ball cap and face mask, walking to the doorstep with a DoorDash bag and placing two packages in the bag. The suspect then walked toward the driveway, the report says.
A witness told police she saw a black Dodge Charger with dark tinted windows drive toward the exit to the neighborhood at around the same time the packages were stolen. She said the vehicle was unknown to her and that she knows the vehicles that belong to residents in her small, gated neighborhood.
Police spoke with a Milton woman Dec. 13 who reported that a delivery of four iPhones had been stolen from her porch on Belleterre Drive. While away from home the day before, she told police a FedEx delivery driver took a picture of a package by her front door. But, when she returned, she said there was no package.
She told police she paid around $330 for the phones as part of a trade-in deal, but that she was informed she would have to make a $1,000 payment for another shipment.
