Police have arrested a woman who roamed around in a Mercedes-Benz grabbing packages from the doorsteps of houses.

Video footage showed the woman nonchalantly taking the parcels before scampering back into the car.

When police went to the home of Tagui Abrayan they found mail and packages from around 300 residents of the San Fernando Valley, Malibu and west Los Angeles.

Video footage showed the woman sidling up to the front door of David Pulido's house where there was a package on his front door

She calmly scooped up the package, before returning to the Mercedes-Benz driven by a man

Abrayan was caught when victim David Pulido's package failed to arrive and he checked his security cameras.

As he watched back the footage, he saw the woman making off with his post and contacted police.

They then received security video from other victims in the area and used the footage to apprehend Abrayan on Thursday morning.

Speaking to CBS Los Angeles Mr Pulido said: 'People are actually bold enough to pull onto a driveway, pull out of a driveway and take whatever they want.

'This has been a safe neighborhood and all of a sudden I feel like it's changed.'
