Video captures woman stealing package from St. Clair Shores home

Christina Pawlack arrested

ST. CLAIR SHORES, Mich. – A home security camera in St. Clair Shores captured video Monday evening of a woman stealing a package delivered to a home.

Thanks to the video, police quickly made an arrest.

Nothing says, "Merry Christmas" like package thieves cruising through neighborhoods hoping to victimize people who are away from home. But technology has come so far, thieves are being caught on video, and they don't even know it.

Christina Pawlack was busted for the thievery in St. Clair Shores, and it turned out she has a history of retail fraud.

Pawlack lives in a condo complex near the home, but the victim has no idea who the alleged thief is.

"She didn't know (Pawlack)," a St. Clair Shores detective said.

The judge hearing the case gave Pawlack bail, but also a tether. She's not allowed to go near the home from which she's accused of stealing.
