‘Porch pirate’ caught following FedEx truck and stealing packages

The "porch pirate," 23 Diana Garcia, is now under arrest by authorities and is facing multiple charges, including drug charges stemming from crystal methamphetamine found in her car when she was stopped.

She was charged with possession of a controlled substance, and the federal offense of mail theft.

A witness spotted Garcia following a FedEx truck in the Texas suburb located in the northwestern Houston area, in the vicinity of Drexel Ridge Lane.

When the witness saw her nab a package they called the police immediately, who were able to respond swiftly and detain Garcia.

According to local outlet KHOU11, "porch piracy," or package theft, has reached an all-time high because of the vastly increased popularity of online shopping in 2020.

It is estimated that currently over 2 million packages disappear from porches within the US on a daily basis.
