GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. — Gwinnett County Police need help finding the suspects who stole a package from the front porch of a home just minutes after it was delivered.

According to police, the package was delivered at a home on Indian Way outside of Lilburn on May 1.

About 10 minutes latertwo teens reportedly took the package and went behind a fence nearby, police said. The empty box was later discovered and the contents were gone. Officers said they were able to piece together what happened thanks to home video security devices.

The police report said a witness told officers his security camera captured two people running though his property and the back of a neighbor's property. As he went to investigate, he saw two boxes in the drainage pipe behind his neighbor's property - a brown shipping package similar to the one he saw the suspects carrying in the video and an Adidas shoe box.

Police spoke to the resident of the home, according to the police report, who said he ordered two pairs of shoes. One of them arrived, but he said he didn't receive the other one. After police talked with him and he checked his own Ring doorbell video, he realized his package had been stolen. 

His video showed a FedEx truck making the delivery and then two people walking up to the door.
