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.
✅ Security Tips to Protect Your Parcels
1. Track Your Deliveries Use courier tracking apps and enable notifications so you know exactly when your parcel arrives.
2. Choose Safe Delivery Options
· Deliver to a trusted neighbour.
· Use Click & Collect or locker services for extra security.
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. |
