Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Public urged to report parcel theft as it becomes a ward priority for local police
As a follow up to my post on parcel theft, the police are urging the public to report theft of parcels to enable them to put more resources towards it.
It is likely to be an under-reported crime as companies generally refund for undelivered goods but the police has 12 reports in January from addresses from Fairfax to Duckett, as well as local reports of thieves following delivery vans, including one on a bike with a back pack.
Report theft via this website or by calling 101 for a non-emergency.

While I welcome this delivery companies have play their part too. I think that many of us have found parcels on the doorstep when we are actually at home and the bell just hasn’t been rung. While it easy to blame the delivery person they are sometimes set unrealistic delivery targets that can only be achieved with a ‘drop and run’ approach.
