Police find dozens of stolen Tri-Cities packages and a West Point saber

If you had a package go missing from your doorstep this holiday season, it may be sitting in the Richland police station.

Richland police armed with a search warrant on New Year’s Day found dozens of items in a vehicle they believe to be associated with a “porch pirate.”

The most unusual item was a West Point cadet sword-like saber.

Many of the items may have been ordered as Christmas gifts, including boots, clothing and toys.

They range from a Harry Potter door mat to a Captain America bobblehead and from a Pendleton shirt to a t-shirt making fun of “dad jokes.”

No information about suspects in the thefts was available on New Year’s Day.

To claim a missing item, call 509-628-0333.
