Police seek package thief with hook for hand

Neighbors said they are installing cameras and vowing to have packages sent elsewhere.

Surveillance video caught a man with a prosthetic hand taking packages from several homes in the Loring Heights neighborhood in northwest Atlanta, according to Channel 2 Action News.

“I don’t even know how to describe how strange it is,” resident Daily Dewling told the television station.

He said the man has a hook for a left hand.
