A thief was caught on camera stealing an Amazon package from a Watford doorstep.

A Ring Doorbell in Hagden Lane shows the hooded man running up to the door, quickly lifting up a large delivery and running off with it at 6.27pm on December 17.

The customer, Alisha Mahoon, says she had designated a “safe place” for the company to leave her deliveries but was shocked to see it had been ignored by the company, leaving her package an easy target for the thief.

The theft was not reported to police.

After screenshots from the footage were shared on social media, another person living just around the corner in Charlock Way said the same thing happened to them over the same night.
