PHILADELPHIA - Police in Camden County are looking for a porch pirate who they say wore an Amazon jacket and swiped a package containing over $1k in Apple Watches.
Doorbell camera video shared by Gloucester Township Police Department shows the suspect, dressed in a jacket commonly worn by Amazon delivery drivers, walk up to a home in the Valleybook Development and pick up a small package.
The mask-wearing suspect then returns to a blue sedan parked across the street, and flees the development. Anyone who recognizes the suspect or believes their home was hit by a porch pirate should contact local police.
