Look out for porch pirates this holiday season.

Police across the state are warning about package theft. A new initiative in Edison puts more officers on patrol to deter crime.

“A woman from our community noted that it gave her a sense of peace while she looked out the window and she was able to see an Edison police black and white cruiser driving down her street,” said Detective Shirley Dong.

Police say residents should be aware of when their package is delivered and watch for any suspicious cars following delivery trucks.
