Washoe County Sheriff's Office deputies located and arrested package theft suspect Anthony Garcia on Saturday night. Earlier this month deputies identified Garcia as a suspect in the theft of a package from a Virginia Foothills home.
Deputies located Garcia in the area of Sutro Street and Wedekind Road shortly before 10:00 p.m. on Saturday, December 29, 2018. He was taken into custody and booked into the Washoe County Detention Facility on charges related to the investigation.
Package theft is a concern for law enforcement and the public, particularly during the holiday season. Here are some steps residents may take to help prevent package theft:
- Track packages and try to be home when they arrive, or ask a trusted neighbor or friend to pick up the package
- Have packages delivered to your workplace, if possible
- Ask the delivery company to require a signature before leaving
- Have the package held at the delivery company for pickup
- Install security cameras at your home
- Report suspicious activity to law enforcement
