Shreveport Porch Pirate Behind Bars After Being Recognized

Porch Pirating spree stopped by social media and police!

Several social media posts showing a man stealing packages off of the porches of several people started making the rounds, and it paid off.

An off-duty SPD Officer was able to recognize Danny Levy from all the posts. The off duty officer called SPD and told them where Levy was. The Police were able to find him and take him to jail.

Levy was using Sportran buses to go to different neighborhoods throughout the city and grab people's packages off of their porches. Shreveport Police credits folks in the city for posting his pictures and videos on social media so Levy could be more easily recognized.

SPD calls Levy a habitual offender with a bunch of prior theft convictions.

From SPD:

"Investigators believe there may be additional victims. Anyone with security footage of Levy stealing packages is encouraged to contact the Shreveport Police Department’s Property Crimes Unit at 673-7300. DON’T JUST REPOST IT, REPORT IT!!!

We appreciate the community’s efforts in helping bring this offender to justice."
