HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. — One of the women seen stealing packages from a Riverview porch has been arrested. Briella Johnson, 20, was arrested today and charged with Grand Theft and Petit Theft. Detectives are in the process of getting a warrant for Kellie Larkee.

A Hillsborough County family has taken to social media in hopes the two women caught on surveillance video stealing their packages will return them to their front porch.

Noel Rivera, who lives in the Summer Springs neighborhood in Riverview, wrote:

"These nice young lady’s were worried that someone would steal our unattended packages so they thought they would take them home and keep them safe. I’m sure they will bring them back later."

Rivera went on to say that the two women in the video realized that the boxes were filled with kids clothing and got excited. 

Another neighbor, Mike Hayes, filed a report with the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office with video as well.

In Hayes' video, it appears to be the same duo taking packages from his porch.
