Lehigh University Police and Pennsylvania Crime Stoppers are asking for the public’s help as they investigate package thefts that occurred earlier this week at university-owned housing on Duh Drive in Bethlehem, not far from Hellertown borough.

In a post on their Crimewatch site Wednesday, authorities said the thefts occurred on Monday, March 21 between 1:25 and 1:52 p.m., which was when a male suspect stole packages off the porches of the townhomes along that road.

Duh Drive is a cul-de-sac off Friedensville Road, just inside the Bethlehem city limits.

Police did not say how many packages were stolen or provide an estimated value of their contents.

They did, however, share security photos of the man, who they described as white or Hispanic and approximately 30 to 40 years old. At the time of the incident they said he was wearing a baseball cap, a dark shirt with a shell logo on the back and grey sweatpants.
