When committing a theft a criminal typically makes an effort not to leave any evidence behind.
That wasn’t the case in a recent Lower Milford Township case Pennsylvania State Police at Fogelsville are now attempting to solve.
According to a news release issued by police Monday, the theft occurred at a mailbox in the 5500 block of West Mill Hill Road sometime between 11:30 a.m. April 24 and 7:15 a.m. April 25.
The owner of the mailbox was expecting to retrieve two packages of lug nuts valued at approximately $38 from it, but instead found only an empty McDonald’s bag stuffed inside, according to police.
A McDonald’s bag is the clue in a Lower Milford Township package theft case, according to state police.
Inside the bag police said they found a receipt from the McDonald’s at 502 Pottstown Avenue in Pennsburg which was timestamped 6:41 p.m. on April 22.
“A review of the McDonald’s surveillance showed a silver in color, four-door sedan that was identified as an early 2000s Volkswagen Passat,” police said.
Authorities said the driver of the vehicle was determined to be a white, non-Hispanic male in his late teens or 20s, but that “no further information could be obtained due to video quality.”
Anyone with information about the theft should contact state police at Fogelsville by calling 610-395-1438.
