Battling Porch Pirates: Tips to Safeguard Your Holiday Packages

Police in Sacramento, California, have launched a "bait package program" to combat the rising problem of porch pirates stealing Christmas presents. The program involves placing trackers in recycled Amazon boxes filled with expensive items. When the box is moved, dispatchers are alerted and police track down the thief in real-time. Stealing a package worth $950 or more is considered a felony, while less expensive items result in a ticket and court attendance. The program has been activated seven times since November 1, resulting in one felony arrest and three misdemeanor charges. Residents are encouraged to report stolen packages to help identify theft hot spots.

Unanswered Questions Surrounding Sacramento Police Shooting Videos

The Sacramento Police Department has released additional body-worn camera footage and drone video of a deadly police shooting that occurred last month in downtown Sacramento. Questions remain about whether the suspect, Cleavon Miles, was pointing his gun at officers when he was shot. The drone footage does not provide a clear visual representation of the position of the gun in Miles' hands, while the body camera footage captures loud noises that police claim were from Miles firing the gun. The investigation is ongoing, and the police will continue to work with the Sacramento County District Attorney's Office and the Office of Public Safety Accountability.
