Two probationers who were arrested Tuesday in Encinitas in a car that authorities said contained stolen packages had a “to-do list” that said “steal mail and shoplift,” a sheriff’s official said.

Kristina Green, 19, and Gary Withers, 38, were taken into custody on suspicion of mail theft, possession of stolen property, being a felon in possession of a gun and drug charges, sheriff’s Detective Sgt. Rich Eaton said in a statement.

Both are on probation for theft and narcotics and weapons violations, the sergeant said.

They were arrested shortly after a delivery driver for Amazon.com called authorities about 2:45 p.m. and said two people in a Dodge Charger were following his truck and picking up packages he had dropped at houses in the area of Greenlake Drive in Encinitas, Eaton said.


The driver kept a sheriff’s dispatcher on the phone until deputies arrived in the area and took the man and woman into custody.

Deputies searched the vehicle and found “a carful of stuff,” the sergeant said, including five stolen Amazon.com packages and stolen mail addressed to 13 people in Encinitas. The unopened items included both junk mail and bills, Eaton said.

Drugs suspected to be methamphetamine and heroin were found in the car, along with a loaded gun, the sergeant said.

The to-do list found in the vehicle was written on notepaper, he said.


An investigation is ongoing to determine if there are other victims.

Reports of delivered packages being stolen from residences have increased during the holiday season, Eaton said.
