ST. LOUIS — A North St. Louis resident says packages were taken from several porches and Halloween pumpkins were stolen and smashed near West Florissant Avenue and Goodfellow Boulevard on Sunday evening.
The resident told VOTP News STL the activity occurred around 6 p.m. November 1 and submitted two surveillance recordings while urging neighbors to be aware of what happened.
According to the resident, multiple homes were affected by the alleged package thefts and pumpkin damage. The account has not been independently confirmed by law enforcement.

One recording shows the playback of a nighttime front-door security camera overlooking a residential street, including a white vehicle and activity near nearby homes. The second video shows someone recording another surveillance playback on a cellphone.
