Alert Important Notice: Rise in Parcel Thefts

Alert Important Notice: Rise in Parcel Thefts

Dear Residents and Businesses,

We have recently seen an increase in parcel thefts in the area.

To help prevent these incidents, please ensure that parcels are kept out of sight and reach from opportunistic thieves.

How thefts are occurring:

Parcels left in building blocks without a concierge, often behind glass sliding doors in reception areas, are being targeted.

Thieves may tailgate residents into the building or pose as delivery drivers, using the intercom to gain access by asking residents to buzz them in.

Recommended actions (at your discretion):

Arrange for parcels to be delivered to a local collection point or superstore for secure pickup.

If you choose to have parcels delivered to your building’s reception, please collect them immediately or make arrangements for prompt collection.

Your cooperation will help reduce these incidents and keep our community safe.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Kind regards,

Officer 72143 Zaib Amirat
