Two men have been charged with stealing packages last week off the front porches in a Lower Saucon Township neighborhood, township police said.
The police said the thefts were first reported 10:30 a.m. Friday, and officers found several empty and opened boxes in the neighborhood of Woodfield Drive, Majestic Overlook Drive and Pleasant Drive.
Township police alerted area departments to be on the lookout for an older sedan with multiple stickers on the trunk.
