STATE COLLEGE, Pa. Police in Centre County said they nabbed two men who they believe have been stealing UPS and FedEx packages off of front porches for weeks.
There are about 20 packages in total so far.
These arrests are the result of team work between all police departments across Centre County.
6 News has been following this story since Bellefonte and Spring Township police took the first reports several weeks ago.
Soon after, Ferguson and Patton Township police also received calls about missing packages.
So police quickly realized the alleged package thieves were targeting municipalities all across the area.
Patton Township police said their patrol officers spotted a silver van last week that matched the description given to police by several witnesses.
Police said the owner of that van had several outstanding warrants, and when they searched the vehicle, they found numerous stolen packages, some of them dating back to October.
