This is the moment a brazen thief stole baby clothing and a parcel from a front porch in broad daylight.

An unidentified woman was filmed on a doorbell camera swiping the goods from outside a front doorstep on Malmesbury Road in Southampton on Friday, 10 May.

Hampshire Police’s Neighbourhood Policing Team covering Southampton has now issued an appeal for anyone who may know the thief.

In the video, the woman looked down the road to apparently see if the coast was clear before she marched down the path towards the package.

She scooped the large package quickly without looking to see what was inside and walked back down the street with it in her hand.

The parcel is understood to have contained baby clothes that had been loosely packed and left outside the home.

A second woman also appears in the video. She is apparently known to the thief and watches her commit the crime before following her down the road with the parcel.
