As holiday deliveries stacked up on doorsteps across Georgia, police say a group of porch pirates tried to steal Christmas, but officers were waiting.

Over the past several weeks, the Columbus Police Department carried out three undercover porch pirate operations during one of the busiest shopping and delivery periods of the year. The effort was launched after residents reported a spike in packages disappearing from their homes as the holiday season ramped up.

Authorities said they placed decoy packages at homes throughout the city, monitored suspicious activity, and moved in once packages were taken.

The Georgia Record was relaunched in June of 2021 and has been extremely successful fighting corruption in the state named after King George of England. The original paper was started in 1899 and published into the early 20th century. In 2020, CDM (Creative Destruction Media) acquired Johns Creek Post and brought back The Georgia Record to better represent the state rather than just Johns Creek News.
