KEEPING YOUR PARCELS SAFE THIS FESTIVE SEASON

As the festive season approaches, many of us will be receiving more parcels at our doors. Unfortunately, this also creates opportunities for thieves.

We’ve received reports of parcels being stolen from doorsteps and communal areas. Thieves often target deliveries left unattended—especially during busy shopping periods.

1. Track Your Deliveries
Use courier tracking apps and enable notifications so you know exactly when your parcel arrives.

2. Choose Safe Delivery Options

3. Install a Door Camera
Video doorbells or CCTV can deter thieves and provide vital evidence if needed.

4. Avoid Leaving Parcels Outside
If you’re not home, request redelivery or specify a safe place that’s out of sight.

5. Report Suspicious Activity
If you notice anyone acting suspiciously around properties, report it immediately via 101 or online.
