Niagara Falls Police responded to the 8700 block of Buffalo Avenue around 1:30pm on April 8th after reports of a larceny/theft complaint.

Upon arrival, officers spoke to the victim who stated that she believed her neighbor had just stolen packages off of her porch and brought them inside of her apartment. The victim further explained that she received a notification that her packages were just delivered and when she went out to collect them, they were gone.

She immediately noticed the neighbor at her rear apartment main entry door actively throwing several packaged items into her hallway and then quickly closed the door. Believing that the packages were hers, she called the police.

While officers were on scene, they made contact with the neighbor who eventually admitted to removing the packages and apologized. The neighbor led officers into her apartment and handed over several packages that included women’s clothing as well as candy.

The neighbor was detained and the packages returned to the victim. She was given an appearance ticket for petit larceny and released.
