Police search for the granny who stole Christmas
An elderly woman was caught on camera stealing packages ahead of Christmas.

ST. LOUIS COUNTY, MO (KGO) -- A home surveillance camera recently captured a 65-year-old woman in Missouri grabbing three packages off a front porch, then taking off.

Investigators believe she staked out the house, driving by in a black hummer four times in less than five minutes.

Just two minutes after the last pass, she made her move and took packages from the porch. Police tracked her down and arrested her. They believe she is tied to three other cases of package theft as well.
