The second theft happened on the night of Dec. 10.

A pregnant woman and a woman holding a small child walked to a home on Great Shoals Road. They took a package and walked away, according to police. Both are in their 20s with dark hair, police said.

Police advise shoppers have packages delivered to their workplace or a neighbor’s house to minimize theft risk. The department also suggests scheduling package drop-offs for when you know you’ll be home, or advising mail carriers to put packages in discreet places. 

Anyone with information about these cases is asked to contact Gwinnett County detectives at 770-513-5300 or Crime Stoppers at 404-577-8477. Crime Stoppers tips may be rewarded with up to $2,000 if they lead to an arrest or indictment.
