West Midlands Police are appealing for information to identify two men after a series of package thefts from a porch in the Birmingham area. The incidents occurred on 15 November 2023, when multiple parcels were stolen from a residential property. Officers have released CCTV images of the suspects in the hope that the public can help identify them.
Details of the Thefts
The thefts took place in the afternoon, with the suspects approaching the front door of a home in the Kingstanding area. They took several packages that had been left by delivery drivers. The homeowner reported the thefts after returning home to find the parcels missing. Police believe the same two men may be responsible for other similar thefts in the area.
Police Appeal
Detective Constable Sarah Jones, from the Birmingham Police Investigation Team, said: “We are keen to speak to the two men in the images as they may have vital information that could help our investigation. We would urge anyone who recognises them or has any information about the thefts to get in touch.”
The force has urged residents to be vigilant and to consider using secure delivery options, such as designated safe places or delivery to neighbours, to prevent future thefts.
