MURRAY Murray police say a robbery was foiled when a Utah womans surveillance camera caught two people stealing UPS packages off her porch.

Laura, who prefers we do not use her last name, said she first noticed the missing packages when she found an empty porch after work.

I get a lot of shipments from Amazon, over the Internet, and I was expected some packages when I got home from work and they were not there, she said. I went on my Amazon account and it said that all three packages had been delivered.

She said she checked her porch again, then her yard, looking anywhere the packages may have rolled or been hidden. When nothing turned up, Laura said she turned to the security cameras her husband insisted on buying.

My husband always wanted to have those cameras installed and I thought it was a waste of money, Laura said. I just didnt think anything like that would ever happen to us. We just live on a quiet street, quiet neighborhood. Ive ordered stuff from Amazon for years and Ive never had anything like this happen.

She said the video showed one package arrive around 11 a.m., followed by another two around 3 p.m. Laura said after the second delivery it wasnt long before she had her suspects on camera: Within two minutes we see the red car, or the red truck, come and we had footage of (a woman) taking the three packages, Laura said.
