Suspects arrested after stealing packages from porch; watch for and report suspicious activity.
Yesterday two thieves attempted to ruin the holidays for several families here in Pleasanton by taking packages from the front porch area of their homes. Officer Sheldon was able to catch up to the fleeing vehicle thanks to excellent witnesses who called PPD. The suspects were arrested and all property was returned to rightful owners.
This type of activity is all too common during the holidays. Please report suspicious activity right away. This can include vehicles following delivery trucks and unfamiliar people approaching doors in your neighborhood. If you're having packages delivered, try to be home or ask a trusted neighbor to pick it up as soon as possible after it's delivered.
