Package stolen, replaced with fake

A Whittier Heights family has a warning for other neighbors: make sure you get your packages off your porch as soon as you can.

On Friday afternoon, Ryan and Jacqueline were in their home near the intersection of 8th Ave NW and NW 65th St when a package was stolen off their front porch. Ryan remembers a white box on the porch that they had been expecting when he got home from work. Around 6 p.m. when they went to retrieve it, the white box had been replaced by a brown one full of garbage. They park in the garage so they don’t have to go through the front door to get inside. “I feel violated,” Jacqueline tells us. The suspect(s) stole the package when the family was home. They have no leads on suspects but warn others that packages are being replaced by fake ones.
