KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Two teens were arrested after they allegedly went on a spree of stealing packages from homes and breaking into homes in south Kansas City.
"They got in and out quick," said Jeff Bly.
Jeff Bly's Ring doorbell camera recorded two young men running away after taking packages from his doorstep.

"The packages showed up at 4:29 on a Monday and they were gone four minutes later," said Bly.
Bly lives off Red Bridge and Cleveland in south Kansas City.
With Christmas weeks away, a lot of packages and gifts are outside and inside homes.
Police said in the span of two weeks, two juveniles went to multiple neighborhoods.
On Saturday, less than a mile away from Bly, the teens are suspected of breaking into a home and assaulting a minor before taking items.
Investigators said they also went to another home and broke in the back door and stole a 32-inch tv among other other things.
The teens have since been arrested.
"It just seems lazy and wrong to me," said Bly.
For Bly and others, this exposes a bigger issue.
"It isn’t petty theft anymore, people are actually being assaulted. So it makes it that much more important for people to be aware and be prepared," said Bly.
Central Patrol is hosting a safety workshop for holiday preparedness at 6:30 p.m. Dec. 4.
