Bulletin 24 November 7th – November 21st 2024
We continue to receive a number of reports of theft of parcels from doorsteps and porches.
With Christmas fast approaching many people are receiving many more deliveries to their homes than usual.
Often these parcels are left on doorsteps, and in porch ways that are visible from the road, and this puts them at risk from thieves who are looking for opportunities to steal.
You can help protect your goods by arranging deliveries for when there is someone at home to accept them or using the various secure lockers and locations many companies have.
