MIAMI — A 22-year-old man who was arrested last month in connection with a package theft investigation in Miami now faces additional charges in connection with seven additional thefts, authorities confirmed Thursday to Local 10 News.
According to the Miami Police Department, the initial investigation began on April 16 after a resident reported that several Amazon packages had been stolen from the front porch of his home. The stolen items were valued at approximately $111.
The victim told police the packages had been delivered earlier that morning. When he discovered they were missing, he reviewed footage from his Ring doorbell camera and saw an unknown man arrive on a black bicycle around 11:44 a.m.
Investigators said the video showed a man entering the property, taking the packages from the porch, placing them into a black backpack and riding away eastbound.
Based on the video evidence, police distributed a “Need-to-Identify” flyer in an effort to identify the suspect.
More than a month later, on May 28, officers located Jeyner Francisco Monzon, who they said matched the description of the package thief.
Authorities said Monzon was taken to Miami Police Headquarters for questioning before being arrested and transported to the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.
After Monzon’s arrest, more victims came forward regarding package thefts that occurred from March through May, authorities said.
Police said the thefts included packages that contained groceries, speakers worth about $1,000 and dog supplies, among other items.
The Miami Police Department is urging residents who may have experienced similar package thefts in the area to come forward and file a police report as the investigation continues.
