Law enforcement in Alabama apprehended a suspected porch pirate last week, who was notably dressed in women’s clothing, as captured by surveillance footage. The suspect had been allegedly stealing packages from residential areas.

Authorities identified the suspect as 46-year-old Todd Anthony Bond. His arrest followed the release of a video by the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office, which showed an individual, dressed in female attire, driving a black Ford Escape. This footage was crucial in their efforts to locate and apprehend the suspect, as reported by WKRG.

Sgt. Lonnie Parsons from the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office highlighted the significance of the vehicle in solving the case. “A couple of things that kind of stuck out to us that helped solve this crime was the vehicle,” he shared with the news outlet.

Sgt. Parsons also commented on the suspect’s distinctive appearance. “What stood out was this person’s particular look,” he remarked. “Given the proximity to Halloween, we were trying to discern if this was a costume or their usual attire.”

Video shows Bond pulling his vehicle in front of the house, before taking a hit of his vape and approaching the front door in broad daylight, according to video shared by authorities.

In the clip, Bond could be seen wearing a black top, black and white floral skirt, and a purple dotted headband as he allegedly carried multiple packages from the home.

Days later, Bond – a resident of Jackson, Mississippi – was spotted in Grand Bay, where police initiated a traffic stop to arrest the suspected porch pirate, the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office confirmed to Fox News Digital.

“We believe that the suspect had originally left the state, and we received information that they were possibly coming back into the state while we were sitting there lying in wait,” Parsons told WKRG.

Although the alleged theft happened days before his arrest, Bond was still sporting bleached hair and heavy makeup, as seen in his mugshot. Authorities also discovered additional packages allegedly stolen from areas in Mississippi inside Bond’s vehicle.

“When we walked up and we placed them in custody, we looked inside the vehicle,” Parsons said. “Lo and behold, we found the original packages that were stolen from Mobile.”

Bond is charged with first-degree theft of property and is being held in the Metro Jail as he awaits his bond hearing, according to court records.
