Erika Lora, 35, came to the Hartung Drive resident’s front door, provided the name on the package and asked for it, Lt. Joseph Soto said.

The resident claimed the package – containing a new cellphone worth about $1,000 -- never arrived, Soto said.

She called police as the couple drove off in a car they’d parked in the homeowner’s driveway, he said.
