Be on Lookout for Local Porch Thief
Written by Ardina Seward
Be on the look out for a brazen porch pirate in Mount Vernon and surrounding areas.
Police are on the hunt for a porch pirate who they say stole more than $1,000 worth of Christmas gifts from the brother of former Mount Vernon mayor, Richard Thomas.
According to the home owner, Butch Thomas, "She jumped out of the car, walked all the way up here, nonchalant, and gathered my things as fast as possible and got out of here. And somebody was in the car waiting for her," said Thomas.
