East Lyme — Police charged a 29-year-old Jewett City man with sixth-degree larceny and trespass after they say he was spotted taking packages from the front porch of a Chesterfield Road home on Tuesday afternoon.

East Lyme police said in a news release that a Chesterfield Road resident saw, through a remote home surveillance system, an individual drive into the home's driveway and take the packages. The resident reported the incident to police about 1:30 p.m. Tuesday.
