Home surveillance video captured the moment a thief snags a package off a women’s porch before slipping and breaking her ankle.
Earlier footage from a security camera apparently located above a garage door shows a UPS driver dropping off a load of packages at the Snohomish County, Washington, home. A black car arrives on the scene, and a woman runs across the grass and onto the porch.
On her way back to the car, she slips on the lawn. She can’t stand up on her own, nor with the help of the getaway car driver. He ends up having to pick her up. The security camera closest to the front door shows the moment clearly.
The homeowner, Lizeth Ababneh, recorded the crime via Nest and Ring security systems, according to the Daily Mail. The Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office opened an investigation. The couple apparently stole from another house nearby as well.
Barrow invented a device that triggers a blank shotgun shell to explode when a thief tries to lift a package.
“It’s a blank shell. Just a loud noise,” Barrow told CNN. “This is the only thing that has worked. It’s nice to see them leave empty-handed.”
