Police have arrested two men for allegedly stealing packages from the doorsteps of homes on Long Island.
Albert Munoz, 21, and Freddy Benavides, Jr., 20, had been following a UPS truck Tuesday and stealing packages after they were dropped off, police said.
An off-duty New York State Trooper called police after he spotted the suspects stealing a package from a home in Bay Shore, police said. They were then followed to a post office, where police say they may have been planning to trail a postal truck next, CBS 2′s Carolyn Gusoff reported.
Police said it’s a familiar scenario. Holiday gifts left unattended are an easy score for thieves looking to cash in on cyber gift buying.
