GPS baited package thwarts suspects
The Arcadia Police Department continues to be proactive in efforts to combat package theft. APD has made numerous theft arrests since they began placing GPS equipped bait packages throughout the City.
Some of these theft arrests have led to additional charges and investigations. Officers were alerted to a package having been taken in the 500 block of Santa Rosa, they quickly located the suspects still driving in a nearby neighborhood. The suspects were stopped and detained without incident.
Not only was the stolen package found inside the suspect’s vehicle, but Officers found numerous items of stolen mail, identification, a master key for mailboxes, and tools used to “fish” mail from a mailbox.
Timothy Thorne, a 38-year-old man from Las Vegas, Amanda Anderson, a 32-year-old female from Las Vegas, Alexis Anderson, an 18-year-old female from North Las Vegas, and Regina Rodriquez, a 33-year-old female also from Las Vegas, were all arrested on felony theft and identity theft charges. The four were booked at the Arcadia City Jail. Refer APD Case #18-0523
