Theft of Parcels

I wanted to provide you an update regarding Personal theft (e.g. pick pocketing, no violence used), which some members around this area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the Met Engage priority survey.

There has been a number of recent incidents in Blackheath whereby people are having parcels delivered and they are being nicked off the door step. This has also happened in Kidbrooke Park. Over the festive period this unfortunately increases and opportunists will continue to thieve. Here are a few prevention tips:

- Provide delivery instructions
- Use Amazon/Evri or similar lockers
- Select signature delivery
- Have parcels delivered to a post office
- Parcel Security Boxes

 We are working on our brand-new strategy for how we police London and we want your help. Our New Met for London: Phase 2 strategy will guide how we deliver on behalf of Londoners over the next three years.
