Shortly after the delivery truck left, the suspect vehicle — a blue, four-door BMW 3 Series missing a front license plate — drove up to the home, after which a man jumped out of the passenger’s seat, snagged the package and hopped back in the car before fleeing.
The suspect was described as in his early 20s, around 5 feet, 8 inches tall with a thin build. A description of the getaway driver was not available.
