A 51-year old man was arrested in Châteauguay on Montreal’s south shore on Thursday for having stolen packages from people’s front doorstep.
Châteauguay police say they began investigating on Wednesday after three residents complained over the theft of their packaged orders.
Tips from the public led police to make an arrest of a suspect at his Châteauguay home the following day.
