A Kensington resident told News 12 in an exclusive interview that their packages have been stolen for months - and they caught it all on camera.

“We thought maybe it was a misunderstanding with the address, maybe something’s wrong," said Emilia Rakhamimova, victim of the alleged package theft.

Many residents in the building say the man comes in through the back door and runs inside to swipe the packages from mailboxes.

“I spoke with the landlord, and they said we can’t close the store because garbage and everything the door supposed to be open," Rakhamimova said. "I’m not sure if the door is actually supposed to be open.”

News 12 reached out to the landlord and management of the building but has not gotten a response as of Friday night.
