With the holiday season quickly approaching, police warned residents to be wary of porch pirates after a brazen theft in front of an Irvine home.
A security camera captured the suspect in a white shirt pacing up and down the sidewalk, as a UPS truck drives down the street to drop off an important package at Sylvons Iyavoo's house. The suspect didn't wait for the important laptop to be dropped off on the porch. The Irvine Police Department said the suspect, who was wearing a white shirt, met the driver in the street and stole the package after impersonating Iyavoo.
Iyavoo assumed the man was picking up his own delivery and not his new Apple MacBook. The suspect signed for the computer and drove away from the neighborhood. To avoid burglaries like this, Irvine police recommended residents install cameras with a recording archive, use package tracking apps, remove deliveries from their doorsteps quickly and to consider picking up expensive items at the store. 'Package thefts happen all the time,' Irvine PD spokesperson Kyle Oldoerp said.
