Oradell Police Trying To ID Package Thief [Video]

ORADELL, NJ — The Oradell Police Department is asking the public for help identifying a package thief.

Police posted a video captured from a resident's Ring doorbell system. The video shows someone Thursday night quickly walking up to the door, then turning their back to the camera, bending over, picking up what appear to be two white colored package bags, and walking away. The video does not show the person getting into or coming out of a vehicle.

The person had a hood over their head, and pulled their jacket tight around their face to conceal most of it, the video shows. Police did not provide the address from where the packages were stolen.

The department posted about the video on the Neighbors app and on their Facebook page. A growing number of police departments throughout New Jersey are partnering with the app, which provides users with a way to receive and share video their Ring doorbells filmed and real-time crime and safety updates.

The Neighbors app is free and works with iOS- Android-, and FireOS-enabled devices. Residents can use the app even if they do not have a Ring doorbell.

Anyone who may have information about the person showed in the video should contact Oradell police at 201-261-0200.
