But the Mesa County Sheriffâs Office has a plan to ruin the season for these bandits.
In order to ensure packages stay at the homes they were intended for this Christmas, the Mesa County Sheriffâs Office will be conducting bait operations with decoy packages across town to try to catch package thieves red-handed.
âIt gives us a force multiplier,â Mesa County Sheriffâs deputy Everett Blanck explained. âWhen weâve got cops on the streets patrolling neighborhoods, we have a limited number of personnel. Bait packages are working while deputies are doing other things.â
How does it work?
