Niagara Falls Police responded to the 1400 block of 18th Street around 5pm on January 26th after reports of a larceny.
Upon arrival, officers spoke to the caller/complainant who stated that she was waiting for her Amazon package to arrive. After it was delivered, she observed a light-skin male with a beard and goatee come to the porch and take the package. He was wearing a blue helmet, indicating he was using some sort of bike for transportation.
Police were able to quickly identify the suspect due to him having countless interactions with NFPD.
After leaving and while on routine patrol, officers located the male and placed him in custody. He did not have the stolen items on his person. The suspect was brought back to the complainant’s address and positively identified.
In total, the suspect was charged with stealing the following: (1) bamboo table valued at $28.07, (2) desk lamp valued at $14.36, and (3) a diamond paint art set valued at $8.18.
The suspect request AMR due to him having a seizure. He was transported to Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center for treatment and released with an appearance ticket.
No further information is available at this time.
