SALEM, MA — Salem police believe a string of package thefts on Wednesday are related, and that they may have images of the suspects on video.

Salem police posted video from a home security system on Social media Thursday and asked for help in identifying the people shown on the footage.

The video footage shows an older, silver Jeep Liberty pull up in front of the residence. A man talking on a cellphone emerges from the passenger seat and casually walks up to the doorstep. In one motion he scoops up the package and gets back into the car, never removing the phone from his ear.
