There has been a rise in thefts of parcels from door steps and porches in Stafford Borough over the past few days. We would ask residents to be vigilant and to report suspicious activity to the police.
Tips to Protect Your Deliveries 1. Consider Alternative Delivery Locations - Send parcels to a friend or relative. If you know you won’t be home, consider having your package delivered to someone you trust who will be available to receive it.
- Utilize secure lockers. Many delivery services offer the option to have parcels sent to secure lockers or collection points, which can be picked up at your convenience.
2. Install Security Measures - Use CCTV or doorbell cameras. Visible security cameras can act as a strong deterrent to potential thieves. Modern doorbell cameras also allow you to monitor deliveries remotely and receive alerts when someone approaches your door.
3. Act on Suspicious Activity - Be vigilant. If you notice anything unusual or see someone acting suspiciously around your property or neighborhood, do not hesitate to report it.
- Contact Staffordshire Police on 101 if you have concerns or need to report a theft.
- In an emergency always call 999
