Kansas City Package Thieves Caught: One Arrested, One on the Run!

Just when you thought the holiday season was all about giving, a couple of package thieves in Kansas City decided to ruin the fun. Law enforcement has been hot on the trail of these criminals, and we’ve got some juicy details to share!

Arrests Made

Kansas City residents can breathe a little easier now that the Clay County Sheriff’s Office has made a significant arrest. 41-year-old Matthew T. Robinson from Excelsior Springs has been taken into custody. Robinson was arrested after a series of package thefts that took place during the Thanksgiving holidays and the following weekend. Talk about stealing the holiday spirit!

Just days before Robinson’s arrest, the Clay County Sheriff’s Office put out a call for help to track down a second suspect. That suspect is none other than 24-year-old Kayley Worthington, who was caught on Monday. The duo face some serious charges: both are charged with felony theft and felony possession of a controlled substance. It seems like they were not just feeling festive but also looking for some side hustle!

The Chase Continues

Things took a twist when Worthington was apprehended. Robinson was at the same property at the time of her arrest but managed to pull off an escape! What a scene! With all the buzz surrounding these thefts, many in the community are eager to know if Robinson will stay on the run.

If you happen to spot Matthew Robinson or have any information about his whereabouts, authorities urge you to get in touch. You can call the TIPS Hotline at 816-474-TIPS (8477). And don’t worry, you can remain anonymous while still potentially pocketing a cash reward through Greater Kansas City Crime Stoppers. It’s a win-win for community members!

Victims Count Rises

As the investigation unfolds, detectives have identified a shocking 12 victims affected by these package snatchers. However, it gets a little murkier from there—many of the stolen items that have been recovered are still waiting to be claimed. This just goes to show how widespread their actions were!
