Philadelphia police are seeking a man and his getaway driver in the theft of a a package containing baby medicine from outside a home last week in the Burholme section of Northeast Philadelphia.

The man probably didn't know what was inside. The package had been delivered by Amazon.com and was left on the porch of a house on the 7400 block of Montour Street. Besides baby meds, it contained baby clothes.

The theft occurred about 1 p.m. June 6, police said. The home's surveillance video captured the two men pulling up in a two-door car in front of the house.

The passenger, a white man who is clearly seen in the video, got out of the car, went onto the porch, knocked on the front of the house, then ran off with the package.

The car then sped off.

Anyone with information is asked to call the police tip line at 215-686-TIPS (8477) or the Northeast Detective Division: 215-686-3153.
