WOODSTOCK - Woodstock Police are warning the public about porch pirates.
T'is the season when people really ramp on their holiday shopping. More people are expected to shop online this year during the pandemic. Woodstock Police are already received a number of complaints this month about packages being stolen from front porches.
Here a few tips on how to protect your package from being stolen this holiday season from the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police:
- Most companies offer an online tracking service, so use it to know when your package is arriving.
- Arrange to have packages delivered when you are home, or ask a neighbour to hold onto it.
- Alternatively have packages delivered to your workplace or another secure alternative location.
- Install a security camera, ones that are high definition with night vision work best.
- If you see something or someone suspicious, report it to police.
