Parcel thefts

Police are warning about a significant increase in parcel thefts, particularly during busy periods . Here are some key points to consider:

Preventive Measures: Arrange for deliveries with trusted individuals or use off-site locker services to secure packages.

Awareness: Stay alert as thieves often target unattended parcels, and the trend has risen sharply in recent years.

Reporting: If your parcel is stolen, contact your retailer first, as they are responsible for ensuring safe delivery. Report the theft to the police for further assistance.

Consumer Rights: Understand your consumer rights, especially if you paid by credit card, as this may provide additional protection against theft.
