Calgary woman chases  down thieves who tried to steal  package.

A Calgary  woman's quick  reaction to stop a  thief in the act, not only confronting the culprits but also  recovering her package. Phoenix Phillips  reports.
A Calgary  woman's quick reaction was caught on camera as she stopped thieves  who tried to  steal a package from her front  door.
A doorbell camera captured the moment Sunday when Danielle MacPherson saw someone  approach the porch of her northwest Calgary home and  bend down to pick up a delivered  package.
"I was drinking my coffee,  looking out the window and  I saw my delivery on my  doorstep," she  said. "I noticed a woman  coming up  a little later, in a car  that was coming toward me."
The video shows MacPherson  running out her front  door, wearing a robe and slippers,  and down her front steps to chase the thief  into her  driveway. The quick action forced the culprit to drop the  package before  returning to the car parked on the  street.
The person who  tried to grab the package and another person can be seen getting  into the car before it  drove away.
"I didn't have time to  go up the stairs, there  were three of  them," MacPherson said of his decision to  jump off  his porch  toward the  group.
MacPherson was able to get the license plate of the getaway car by quickly  brushing snow off the back before  driving away. She can be heard reciting the license plate information as she  walked home with  the package she found.
She has since reported the incident to police and says she is  grateful to be safe after confronting the  group.
"I am glad I  was not injured  by this athletic  move, but also by the hands of the three  suspects," she  said.
Calgary police are advising anyone in a similar situation to avoid confrontation, but to  write down any identifying  information.
