Police arrest 2 package snatching suspects

BELLEFONTE, Pa. (AP) - Police say they've arrested two men suspected of snatching packages from porches and doorsteps in central Pennsylvania since October.

But WJAC-TV (http://bit.ly/12lMOLC ) reports investigators aren't naming the men - who are being held on other warrants - because they're still trying to recover the stolen packages and determine how many the men stole.

The investigation began in Bellefonte and Spring Township, but police in Ferguson and Patton townships - also in Centre County - started receiving similar reports, too.

Some witnesses saw a silver-colored van in the area of some theft and police say the van's owner was wanted on some older charges when they caught up to the men Monday.

Police say they found some of the stolen packages in the van and police say at least 20 packages have been taken so far.
