Montclair Resident Reports ‘Suspicious’ Delivery Man To Police

MONTCLAIR, NJ — A “suspicious” person report may be connected to recent package thefts on Dodd Street, Montclair police said Tuesday.

According to the Montclair Police Department, the resident who reported the incident on June 15 said his suspicions were aroused when he saw an unknown man on the street, wearing a UPS delivery uniform and a yellow vest.

The suspicious part? He was allegedly carrying a FedEx package under his arm, police said.

The man then got into the passenger side door of a grey sedan with a temporary registration tag, which fled the area, police said.

“While taking the information from the witness, an officer was approached by two residents of Dodd Street reporting that they were missing packages that had been delivered to their homes,” police said.
