Woman wearing ankle monitor steals package from Moreno Valley home

MORENO VALLEY, Calif. (KABC) -- A woman appearing to wear an ankle monitor was caught on surveillance camera stealing a package from a Moreno Valley home on Wednesday.

A vehicle pulls in front of the home on Roja Street and a woman is seen getting out on the passenger side of the car.

The woman approaches the home, grabs a giant package that was sitting on the porch, and runs back to the waiting vehicle.

It appeared the woman was wearing an ankle monitor on her left leg during the incident.

The suspect was perhaps a bit disappointed because the homeowners said there was only dog food inside the package.

Investigators were trying to identify the thief. If you have any information that could help officials locate the suspect, you were urged to call the Moreno Valley Police Department at (951) 486-6700.
