Parcel theft increase with the run up to Christmas |
||
|
Good morning Dulwich Wood residents,
We see a substantial increase in parcel thefts over the Christmas period due to criminals knowing that people are ordering more parcels and the evenings are getting darker earlier.
Here is some advice to prevent your parcel being a target for thieves in the area:
Preventing theft from your doorstepHere are some things you could do to reduce the risk of doorstep theft: track your parcel to ensure you or someone else is at home for the delivery install a video doorbell; this can be connected to your mobile so you are notified immediately of any delivery, and is easier to install than a full CCTV system install a security light arrange for your parcel to be delivered to a trusted neighbour, or other family members who will be at home; if you live in a flat, is there a concierge who could accept the parcel for you? use an off-site locker service for frequent deliveries, or for expensive items; these parcel boxes are more likely to be in busy, safer locations - such as supermarkets - rather than secluded areas which could be targeted by thieves
If you need any further crime prevention advice or have any concerns please contact us.
Thank you,
Kind regards, | ||
