CINCINNATI (WKRC) - A Miami Township man, originally charged with two counts of theft for stealing packages, faced a slew of additional charges in court Tuesday. Andrew Felix pleaded not guilty to 19 counts of theft and receiving stolen property.

Green Township Police put out surveillance pictures of a porch pirate who targeted homes on Dec. 6 and Dec. 7. They arrested Felix on Dec. 8 and charged him with two counts of theft.

Police got permission to search where Felix was living and say they found mail belonging to twelve people. They also found items stolen from other victims, including shoes, a dutch oven, floor mats and dog food. The victims said their items were stolen in the same time frame.

He's also accused of stealing a kidney donor testing kit. 

Felix's attorney asked for low bond. She said drug addiction is not at the root of the crimes.

Assistant prosecutor David Wood asked for a high bond to deter other porch pirates. He added that thefts like these "mess up commerce".

The judge ordered Felix locked on $2,500 bond on each of the 19 charges for a total of $47,500. If he posts bond, he's been ordered to stay away delivery trucks and the victims' porches.
