CHICAGO (WLS) --

Police said they arrested five people on Monday in connection with three separate package theft incidents. There are many more thieves still out there, though, with an eye on your holiday gifts.

"The holidays are a time where it brings out the best in people - charitable giving and things like that - but unfortunately, some people do take advantage of that. They know that packages are being delivered," said Sgt. Brendan McCrudden, Chicago Police Dept.

Police are investigating a string of package thefts in Lakeview, in which boxes are snatched from porches, courtyards, or vestibules. Eyewitness News spotted several boxes left in unsecured areas.

"I, for one, sometimes have it delivered here, sometimes have it delivered to my office to mitigate the damage or potential damage," said Kevin Jones, a Lakeview resident.

"I've lived here for ten years. I've had packages that have disappeared from my porch, probably two or three times over the past few years," said John Johnson, a Lakeview resident.

Police say the thieves often follow delivery trucks looking for an opportunity, and they don't always know what they're taking.

In one incident in the 3200-block of North Kenmore, baby items were stolen.

"Sometimes it's worthless to them, and sometimes we're actually finding the boxes ripped open and the stuff just discarded because it wasn't of interest to them," Sgt. McCrudden said.

Police are reminding residents to use common sense: ship items to your office if you can't be home to receive it, and request signed delivery, so packages aren't left at your door. If you live in a building, don't prop doors open for strangers.

Police are offering tips to prevent packages from being stolen from people's front porches, Palo Alto police said Saturday.

"This is a crime that occurs in virtually every community in our country," police said in a statement. "Packages that are left unattended make for easy targets for criminals."

Police said package thefts commonly occur during normal working hours, when many people are not at home.

To avoid becoming a victim, police offered the following tips:

- If your employer will allow it, have packages delivered to your office.

- If not, have packages delivered to a place where they can be received in person, such as the home of a trusted neighbor who stays home during the day, or a retired relative.

- Request the shipper require a signature confirmation or hold your package at their pick-up facility so you can pick it up in person at your convenience.

- If purchasing from a large retailer, request that your package be delivered to a local branch of the store so you can pick it up in person at your convenience.

- Request a specific delivery date and time from the shipper when you know you will be home.

- Provide delivery instructions to the sihpper so that packages can be left at a safe location at your home that is out of sight from the street.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. Police in Centre County said they nabbed two men who they believe have been stealing UPS and FedEx packages off of front porches for weeks.

There are about 20 packages in total so far.

These arrests are the result of team work between all police departments across Centre County.

6 News has been following this story since Bellefonte and Spring Township police took the first reports several weeks ago.

Soon after, Ferguson and Patton Township police also received calls about missing packages.

So police quickly realized the alleged package thieves were targeting municipalities all across the area.

Patton Township police said their patrol officers spotted a silver van last week that matched the description given to police by several witnesses.

Police said the owner of that van had several outstanding warrants, and when they searched the vehicle, they found numerous stolen packages, some of them dating back to October.

From her humble beginnings in the Far East in 1914, the Iglesia ni Cristo also known as INC, has grown to be the largest entirely indigenous Christian church in the Philippines, and the largest religious organization that originated from the Philippine Islands and the largest independent Christian Church in Asia.

From the Far East to the Far West: It was in this island state of Hawaii, located in the Far West, where the Church would establish its pioneering mission for its worldwide expansion was not a matter of coincidence, but of divine providence. Biblical prophecy decrees:

"From the far east will I bring your offspring, and from the far west I will gather you" (Isa. 43:5, James Moffatt Translation)

And so, it came to pass that in this Aloha State in the Pacific, particularly in its capital and economic center, Honolulu, theChurch of Christ that emerged in the Far East made its propitious entry into the a Western hemisphere. As prophesied, thegathering of God's children started in 1968 when the Iglesia ni Cristo launched its mission overseas which resulted in the establishment of two pioneering congregations in the Far Westfirst in Honolulu, Hawaii on July 27 and then in San Francisco, California, on August 18, 1968. This laid the groundwork for the rapid establishment of many more congregations on foreign shores.
