Authorities in Newark request the public’s help identifying the female suspect in connection with two package thefts that occurred on Sunday, December 21.
Newark Public Safety Director Emanuel Miranda, Sr., stated that at approximately 4:17 p.m., a victim residing on Smith Street near Tremont Avenue observed a female suspect remove a delivered package from the porch.
The suspect left, but returned moments later and took a second package that had been delivered and placed on top of the victim’s mailbox, Newark officials said. She then fled northbound on Smith Street.
According to Newark officials, the value of the stolen items is approximately $82.00. The suspect is described as a Black female with a thin build.
She was wearing a black jacket, a tan-and-beige hooded sweatshirt, black pants, brown boots, and large, clear eyeglasses, Newark officials say. 
Director Miranda urges anyone with information about the identity of this suspect to call the Police Division’s 24-hour Crime Stopper tip line at 1-877-NWK-TIPS (1-877-695-8477).
