A Morrisville woman, according to police, just wasn’t having it, when she confronted an alleged porch pirate which is now the focus of law enforcement with the holiday shopping season about to get into full gear.
On November 12 12:58 p.m. Morrisville Borough resident reported to police the theft of a package in the 600 block of N. Delmorr Avenue.
The victim told officers that a Hispanic male dressed in all black came up to her front door, and entered her mailbox, and took the package, and walked away.
The victim, police said, bravely went after the suspect and took the package back.
The ballsy suspect followed the victim back and grabbed the package out of her hand, and ran across the Calhoun Street Bridge into Trenton, police said.
Thankfully the woman involved was not apparently injured in her effort to take what was hers.
No word from Police if the porch pirate has been arrested as of yet.
With that in mind Bucks County authorities in a public service message are sharing tips on how to minimize the probability of becoming a potential porch pirate victim.
✅ Use secure delivery options – Many carriers offer lockers, in-store pickup, or scheduled delivery windows.
✅ Install a camera or video doorbell – Visibility alone can deter thieves.
✅ Request signature confirmation – It adds a layer of accountability.
✅ Track packages and bring them in quickly – The longer they sit outside, the higher the risk.
✅ Team up with neighbors – Watch out for each other’s deliveries. Don’t assume “it won’t happen to me.” A few proactive steps can save you stress, money, and time. What’s your go-to strategy for keeping packages safe? Share your tips on our social media pages.
