DATE: October 28, 2019
LOCATION: 1500 (B) Centre Pointe Dr., Milpitas
CASE #: 19-240-180
SUSPECT: 17 year-old female from Oakland
On August 28, 2019, an unknown female stole Amazon packages from the front porch of two residences in the area of Centre Pointe Drive in Milpitas. One of the incidents was captured on residential security camera system, which allowed the homeowner to provide an image of the suspect. On October 18, 2019, the Milpitas Police Department released several images of suspects associated to package thefts incidents from the same area in hopes of identifying the suspects.
On October 24, 2019, a member of the public contacted our Detectives and provided information to identify the female suspect whose picture was disseminated in the original press release. The suspect was identified as a 17 year-old female from Oakland. The suspect was in custody at a juvenile facility in Alameda County and our Detectives were able to issue her a citation for the package thefts.
The Milpitas Police Department would like to thank the public for their assistance in identifying the suspect in this case. The other two male suspects have not been located and our detectives are working diligently to identify them.
We would also like to remind our residents to consider having packages delivered to their workplace or to the home of a relative/neighbor/friend who is home during the delivery date. Online retailers, such as Amazon, allow for packages to be delivered to Amazon Hub Lockers, plus they offer their Prime customers to choose, Amazon Day, which allows you to pick your delivery date. Taking these steps could prevent you from becoming a victim of package theft.
If you have any information on the two male suspects associated to these package theft incidents, then you are encouraged to contact the Milpitas Police Department at (408) 586-2400. Additionally, the information can be given anonymously by calling the Crime Tip Hotline at (408) 586-2500 or via the Milpitas Police Department Website at: http://www.ci.milpitas.ca.gov/crimetip.
