A “porch pirate” has been nabbed by the Prince George RCMP.
The detachment received a report of a suspect stealing packages from a residence located on the 1600 block of Gillett Street just after 1pm on Thursday (March 11th).
The homeowner saw a man on their front door surveillance and stole two packages from the front steps.
Less than 45 minutes later, officers arrested the suspect.
Police identified him as 40-year-old Jeffrey Krafczyk, who is known to police.
He was transported to the detachment and attended court.
“The B.C. Prosecution Service approved one charge of Theft under $5,000 and one charge of Fail to comply with probation against Mr. Krafczyk,” stated Cst. Jennifer Cooper.
Krafczyk is back in the community on a release order until his next court appearance at the end of March.
