WANTED IN SEATTLE --

Packages delivered to your porch is a useful way to get things you need in life.

But, unfortunately it's also an easy way for crooks to cash-in on your convenience -- like this pair of porch package perps who Seattle detectives need your help identifying and who they think tailed a delivery driver to hit their target. “The problem is when a UPS driver



or a FedEx driver, or whoever pull up in a neighborhood often times they're being followed by suspects in a vehicle,” says Ret. Det. Myrle Carner with Crime Stoppers of Puget Sound. “They're specifically looking to target a home. In this specific case 10 packages were delivered up to the front porch. As you watch this video they're just going to casually walk up on the porch. They pick them up and they're looking at them, they just casually look at them and then they casually walk back to their car, they steal all of them."



Luckily the homeowner had a great, quality security system.

Detectives think they're Asian and both 20-25 years old.

The guy in the black shirt seems to have ears that really stick out, so maybe that will help someone recognize him.

Detectives say they were driving a black, newer model 4-door car.
