A serial package thief was arrested by the Lakewood Police Department after being caught in the act during a coordinated operation conducted by Lakewood Shomrim.

According to Shomrim, the operation was launched earlier this week following multiple reports from a local residence about packages repeatedly being stolen from the property.

In response, Shomrim members organized a targeted surveillance operation aimed at identifying and apprehending the suspect responsible for the thefts.

The operation ultimately led to the suspect being caught red-handed while allegedly attempting to steal another package from the residence. Shomrim members immediately contacted police, and responding officers from the Lakewood Police Department arrived on scene and placed the suspect under arrest.

Authorities did not immediately release the suspect’s identity or additional details regarding potential charges.
