A Darrow woman is behind bars in the Ascension Parish Jail after police arrested the alleged Amazon package thief.
The Ascension Parish Sheriff’s Office said, Verenize Alvarez, 22, of 5262 Seneca Dr. was arrested “on criminal trespassing and theft charges after deputies responded to a residence on Pascal Drive in reference to missing Amazon packages on Monday, December 17.”
Authorities were able to find Alvarez after watching surveillance video that showed her leaving with the packages.
Deputies found Alvarez and the accused package thief admitted to taking the packages from the residence.
The stolen packages were not recovered as Alvarez conceded that they were thrown away.
