Rochester, MN (KROC AM News) - A Rochester woman who was recently recorded on video stealing a package from outside a home was caught in the act Tuesday.
Police Capt. John Sherwin says there has been a rash of package thefts in recent days. Sherwin says many of them have occurred at townhome communities that have a designated drop-off spot for packages.
Undercover officers started watching some of the communities and their effort paid off Tuesday when a woman was seen taking two packages that had just been left at the Crystal Bay Townhomes site near Bamber Valley School.
Arrested was 41-year-old Angela Clemens, a suspected meth user. Sherwin says Clemens was linked to three other cases, including the one that caught her in the act.
Sherwin says the Avalon Cove Townhomes community near Country Club Manor has also been targeted and officers continue looking for other suspects.
