Jewelry found at porch pirate’s home after Coral Gables package thefts, police say

Suspect identified as 35-year-old Carlos Andres Gonzalez Rodriguez

CORAL GABLES, Fla. – Coral Gables police are searching for a thief who they say ripped off many homeowners.

Surveillance video released Wednesday by the police department shows the “porch pirate” pulling his car up to homes and stealing packages right off the doorstep.

Police got a lead on the suspected thief and served a warrant at his home, where authorities said they found lots of jewelry.

But police said the suspect, identified as Carlos Andres Gonzalez Rodriguez, 35, was not home when they arrived and they still haven’t found him.

Anyone with information about his whereabouts is asked to call the Coral Gables Police Department or Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477.
