DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin and Hinsdale Chief of Police Brian King announced today, Monday, December 15, 2025 that Andres Martinez Osorio, age 35, of the block of 3900 Ontario Street, Chicago, has been charged with stealing a package from the front porch of a Hinsdale home last week.
On December 10, 2025, through the course of their investigation into multiple thefts of deliveries from residents’ homes, the Hinsdale Police Department identified Martinez Osorio as a suspect in the theft of a delivery from a Hinsdale home located on the block of 600 South Lincoln Street. Allegedly, Martinez Osorio stole the package, which contained merchandise from Nordstrom valued at approximately $795 on December 10, 2025. At approximately 2:57 a.m. Martinez Osorio was arrested, charged and released on his own recognizance later the same day.
“When someone steals deliveries from a home as alleged in this case, they are victimizing not just the immediate victim but the entire community. According to security company SafeWise, it is estimated that the Chicago metropolitan area will lose approximately $254 million in deliveries to porch pirates in 2025. There are simple steps you can take however to protect yourself from porch pirates such as installing cameras, outdoor lighting and a secure lockbox that requires a code for access, requesting signatures, and delivery tracking. I would also urge everyone to look out for each other. If you see a package on your neighbor’s front porch, give them a call and let them know and if you see suspicious activity, please alert authorities. I thank the Hinsdale Police Department for their work on this case and for their continued efforts in protecting the citizens of Hinsdale as well as Assistant State’s Attorney Nicholas Covert for his work in securing charges against Mr. Martinez Osorio.”

“I appreciate the work of our investigators and patrol officers in putting this case together, leading to this arrest,” King said. “We will aggressively pursue cases against porch pirates that occur in the Village. As always, we appreciate the support from State’s Attorney Robert Berlin.”

Martinez Osorio’s next court appearance is scheduled for January 6, 2026, in front of Judge Ann Celine O’Hallaren Walsh.
Members of the public are reminded that this complaint contains only charges and is not proof of the defendant’s guilt. A defendant is presumed innocent and is entitled to a fair trial in which it is the government’s burden to prove his or her guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
