LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — As holiday deliveries arrive on doorsteps, LVMPD says people should report stolen packages to police, not only to the retailer or delivery company.
Officer Aden Ocampo-Gomez of LVMPD said many people do not report missing or stolen packages to police.
“One of the things a lot of people do is if a package has been stolen or is missing, they don’t really report it,” Ocampo-Gomez said. “They just kind of report it to whoever they bought it from, but they don’t report it to us. If you don’t report it to us, we don’t know this is happening, so we don’t go and patrol that area to try to find these individuals.”

LVMPD said the reports help officers spot patterns on their crime maps. Those patterns show which streets need extra patrols to catch porch pirates.
People can file a report online for many thefts. They can also go to a substation to report in person.
