An OPP cruiser at the London detachment off Exeter Road.
It’s high season for Porch Pirates – the people who cruise neighbourhoods in search of packages left on doorsteps by a delivery service.
OPP Media Relations coordinator Bill Dixon says this kind of theft occurs all year long but there are more instances of it during holidays because of the higher rate of deliveries.
Dixon says there are ways to protect your stuff.
Another option is to ask a trusted neighbour or friend to be on hand to accept your delivery if you can’t be home.
If packages are stolen from your home, report the incident to local police and the shipping company.
