A heartless thief has been caught on CCTV stealing a food delivery that was destined for an elderly man living by himself.

The masked man struck just 30 minutes after milk, bread and eggs were delivered in the early hours, brazenly walking up and making off with the goods.

The masked man struck just 30 minutes after milk, bread and eggs were delivered in the early hours, brazenly walking up and making off with the goods.

Veronica and Vito Zarola discovered the crime several hours later when they checked their security camera.

The food had been ordered for Mrs Zarola’s elderly father, who is isolating due to the threat of Covid-19. The couple saw the package had arrived at their home at 2am, but when they went to collect it they found an empty step.

They played the footage for longer and watched in horror as the hooded figure made off with the care package.

Mrs Zarola said: ‘It’s a normal thing for us to check the CCTV first thing in the morning, which we did on the day it happened.We saw the milk, eggs and bread had been delivered, so my husband Vito went to grab them and he came back and told me they weren’t there.

‘They came right up to my door, bold as brass, took the eggs and bread but left the milk.

‘I’m so angry because those eggs were for my dad Bruno, who is 83-years-old and lives on his own. He’s self-isolating and he’s a vulnerable person, so I’m really angry.

It does make you scared that in this current climate someone will come up to your door and take something.

‘We called the police and they said we needed to let the company know this was happening because other people could be looking to take deliveries.’

Mr and Mrs Zarola have since alerted delivery service Dairy Home Team, which they have used for the past five years.

A spokesman for Wiltshire Police said: ‘We can confirm we’ve received the report and would urge residents to be vigilant.

‘Anyone with information about the theft is asked to call police on 101.’

The footage was recorded in the early hours of Tuesday, April 14.

Trump says he urged team to ‘slow’ COVID-19 testing

US President Donald Trump said Saturday he was encouraging health officials in his administration to slow down coronavirus testing, arguing that increased tests lead to more cases being discovered. The president has claimed falsely on several occasions that surges of COVID-19 in several states can be explained by greater numbers of diagnostic tests. At his first rally since the outbreak forced nationwide shutdowns in March, Trump told the crowd in Tulsa, Oklahoma that testing was a “double-edged sword.” The United States — which has more deaths and cases than any other country — has carried out more than 25 million coronavirus tests, placing it outside the top 20 countries in the world, per capita. “Here is the bad part: When you do testing to that extent, you are going to find more people, you will find more cases,” Trump argued. “So I said to my people ‘slow the testing down.’ They test and they test.” It was not clear from Trump’s tone if he was playing to the crowd, who ...
