A DoorDash driver will serve time in prison for stealing thousands of dollars’ worth of packages from homes in several local counties.
The Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office reported that John D. Manning, 35, pled guilty earlier this month to felony organized retail theft.

Prosecutors claim Manning utilized his work as a DoorDash driver to seek potential targets throughout his theft spree, which covered Allegheny, Westmoreland, Indiana, and Armstrong counties.
Prosecutors say Manning sold several of the stolen products through an internet marketplace. He was caught conducting the thefts by either surveillance cameras or the homeowners.
The stolen products totaled more than $5,000, according to the AG’s office.
An Indiana County Court of Common Pleas judge sentenced Manning to one to three years in state prison, followed by four years of probation.
“While delivering meals as a DoorDash driver, this defendant was also scouting neighborhoods and homes for potential theft opportunities, which he later acted upon,” Attorney General Dave Sunday said. “This conviction would not have been possible without the assistance of our law enforcement partners in Western Pennsylvania, including the Pennsylvania State Police.”
