EDSO:
“On 01/12/2017, at 4:20pm, the mail carrier delivered a package to the front door of an address on Danbury Circle in El Dorado Hills. Approximately 23 minutes later, the home surveillance system captured an unidentified suspect running up to the front door, and stealing the package. The unidentified suspect ran toward the street to a vehicle, which pulled into view of the camera. The front passenger door was left open for the suspect to re-enter. The suspect just barely managed to get back into the vehicle before it sped away. The vehicle appears to be a light colored 1997-2001 Toyota Camry. The vehicle and the suspects may be involved in other mail thefts in the area. The video surveillance is not the best; however, if you have any information on this suspect or the vehicle, please contact the Sheriff’s Office; Detective Jon Densmore at densmorj@edso.org or (530) 642-4718 (Reference case# EG17-501). Thank you.”
“We are hoping our community can help us identify this individual so we can hold them accountable” said the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office.
Some Q & A —
Erin Sanders asks:“Should we be alarmed that our outgoing mail flag was up yesterday afternoon when it shouldn’t have been? Didn’t think much of it until reading this post & am now wondering if it may have been a way our house or mail was “marked”?
El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office:“It could be someone intentionally trying to mark it or someone messing around, either way you want to try to make sure to have your mail delivered to a secure mailbox, house or PO box. Thank you Erin.”
John Skinner: “I’m curious if the EDC Sheriff has had any luck with GPS decoy packages used by residents. Does that work? Is it cause to search if tracked to a home or car?”
El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office: “We have conducted bait stings in the past and they have been successful. Thank you John.”
