A Lancaster woman accused of multiple package thefts was recently arrested by city police.

Gina Marie Acevedo, 32, was caught on the 700 block of Lehigh Avenue on Dec. 9 after she attempted to steal a package from a home on the street, police said in a news release. The package Acevedo stole contained medical supplies, police said.

A detective in an unmarked car saw Acevedo take the package from the porch of the home, get in her car and drive away, police said. Acevedo was stopped a short time later and police discovered she was wanted on an outstanding warrant filed by Manheim Township police.



Police said Acevedo is responsible for similar thefts in the northeast area of Lancaster, including a theft of medical supplies on Nov. 6 from the front porch of a home on the 100 block of North Ann Street.

Police released pictures of items believed to have been stolen, including children's clothing and cellphone cases. Theft charges have been filed against Acevedo and police said additional charges are likely.

Anyone with information on package thefts or who recognize the pictured items are asked to contact Lancaster police Det. 717-735-3476.
