Police say they are looking for a package snatcher in Great Neck, who took a package from a Moreland Court residence last month.

Detectives said the male suspect, described as white and possibly Hispanic with a medium build and dark brown hair, stopped his blue-green Chevy Avalanche truck in front of a residence, took the package, and then drove away on Jan. 24.

This is similar to a Jan. 29 case, where police said a male white or Hispanic person stepped onto a Fairview Avenue property and removed a package containing a $400 saw. That box was then loaded onto the suspect’s gray Chevrolet truck, police said, before he drove away.

A police spokesman said it’s not clear at this time if the two cases are related and those investigations into both crimes are ongoing.

Detectives request anyone with information about the incidents call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-244-TIPS. All callers will remain anonymous.
