A brazen thief has been caught on CCTV stealing courier parcels from an Albany resident's front door in broad daylight.

The footage, filmed on Monday morning, shows a man wearing a blue hoodie, black track pants and blue running shoes walking up to the door, taking three parcels and swiftly making an escape.

The victim, who posted the video online, said she that she believes she is just one of many who have fallen foul to a parcel thief in the area.

"Today some low life decided to steal some parcels that were left outside my front door just hours before while I was out. We have security cameras and caught the guy's face but not his car registration plate.

"Other neighbours have also said they've had parcels stolen in the past," she said.

"We are in Albany Village and we live in a complex so this person must be driving round looking for parcels or something as I don't recognise him from our community. Nobody in our complex recognised him.

"Let's catch this thief."

The victim said Courier Post should not have left the packages on her doormat, but she never expected her parcels to be stolen.

"The courier company didn't even care, as far as they were concerned they 'delivered it'," the victim said online.

"I told them it's not left in safe place but they still didn't care. Rubbish customer service."

According to Albany locals, a number of homes were robbed on Monday morning including Georgia Terrace. A number of cars were also reportedly stolen in the area.
