VIDEO: Brazen porch pirate nabs parcel from central Nanaimo home

NANAIMO — Mounties are looking to identify a woman who casually stole a parcel from a central Nanaimo home recently.

Security video showed a blonde woman in her 30’s approach the front door of a home in central Nanaimo around 10:45 a.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 9.

Cst. Gary O’Brien said she picked up a parcel which had been left by a delivery driver an hour prior.

“This is quite odd, often what the porch pirates will do is follow a courier truck throughout the city. This may have just been someone circling the area looking for parcels on doorsteps.”
