Packages Stolen From Front Porch

A Montclair resident told police packages were stolen from her front porch earlier this month. 

The victim said the packages containing a Juicy Couture rhinestone chain necklace and toddler clothes, valued at $50, were left at her house on the 70 block of Claremont Avenue at 10 a.m. on Dec. 9. She said she discovered an open box on her porch at 5 p.m. that evening.

Last month, a Church Street resident told police a stranger signed for a package containing a purchase from Brookstone. 

Residents should not leave packages at front doors or on porches, especially during the holidays, Lt. Det. Angel Roman said.

“Make an effort to be home when they are delivered,” Roman said.
