With the holidays approaching, it's prime season for porch pirates again.
In Tarrant County, there were 69 porch pirate cases in 2020. 51 so far through this year.
The Tarrant County DAs office says they will be pursuing and prosecuting anyone who decides to engage in this practice.
The County put out an educational video on certain steps to protect your packages.
First, track your package. Second, make sure you are home when it's delivered. Third, ask for a signature to be required when it's delivered.
Package theft is at an all time high, as UPS, Fed Ex and the US Postal service report 1.7 million packages are stolen everyday.
