Kitty Litter Thief on the Loose

SALEM, MA - Package thefts are a serious issue during the holidays, especially in a city like Salem, where many front doors are mere inches away from the streets and sidewalks.

However, on Tuesday morning, one package thief on Boardman Street was either not too discerning about what he stole, or he has a lot of cats.

Shortly after noon on Tuesday, officers went to Boardman Street for a report of stolen packages. The Boardman Street resident said that she had three packages delivered to her steps at about 8 a.m.

When she went to get the packages from the steps at 8:40 a.m., she saw that all the packages had been torn open.

The resident said that the content of two of the packages, a total of two bags of kitty litter, had been stolen from the packages.

Police state that there were no witnesses to the kitty litter theft and no suspects at this time.
