Elmhurst Saw a Slew of Stolen UPS Packages Last Week

Several instances of stolen USPS packages from Elmhurst residents were reported in the second half of the week.

One woman, who lives on the 200 block of E. Van Buren St., told police Nov. 28 a black male had tried to steal two packages from in front of her home. She saw the man park a black truck in front of her house, and became suspicious when she realized she’d had packages delivered earlier.

When the woman opened her door, she saw the man walking away with her two packages. She yelled at him and he turned around, tossed the items into her front yard, and then left in his truck.

On the same day, a man living on E. Yorkfield Ave. reported that someone had stolen five boxes of merchandise from his front porch. They’d been delivered earlier by the United States Postal Service.

Another woman claimed that between Nov. 28 and Nov. 29, someone had come to her home on E. Yorkfield Ave. and taken a package that had been dropped off at her front door.
