A woman known locally as the "Tom Brady" of package theft was apprehended in Boston on Christmas Eve, according to authorities. Police say 34-year-old Kerri Flynn was identified by a police cadet while officers were distributing toys to children in South Boston. Flynn had gained notoriety in the community for her alleged repeated package thefts, leading to comparisons with the legendary quarterback.
At the time of her arrest, Flynn was reportedly in possession of two bags containing unopened packages. She was also wanted on outstanding warrants related to shoplifting and receiving stolen property. Following her Christmas Eve arrest, she faces additional larceny charges. The Boston Police Department highlighted the cadet's sharp eye in recognizing Flynn, who they described as a suspected package thief known for her alleged activities among concerned residents.
The comparison to Tom Brady, the celebrated former New England Patriots quarterback, stems from Flynn's alleged prolific activity in package theft. Brady is widely regarded as one of the greatest football players of all time.
