UPS delivered two packages to a residence in the 1800 Block of 235th Street and they were stolen from the porch today.  No additional details available.   There have been a number of incidents where packages delivered to homes by United Parcel Service (UPS), Federal Express (FedEx), and the United States Postal Service (USPS) have been stolen from porches after being delivered in the South Bay.  There is some evidence perpetrators follow the trucks when they enter a neighborhood and then steal the packages once delivered. There are several things we can do that will assist in deterring these thefts: • If you see groups of youths or a person following UPS, FedEx, or USPS trucks when they enter a neighborhood. Please call Torrance Police immediately.  In one incident in Lomita last week, the suspects rode bicycles. • If possible, consider having packages, especially those of considerable value, delivered to your work location. • Consider mandating
