Ahoy mate!
The Truro Police Service reminds residents to stay vigilant and take precautions to avoid becoming victims of theft this holiday season.
During this time of year, with an increase in online shopping, ‘Porch Pirates’ are waiting for their opportunity to strike and take your treasures.
Here are some helpful tips:
– Take advantage of package tracking
– Request signature on delivery
– Install a doorbell camera
– Get packages delivered to an alternate pickup location
– Have a trusted neighbor retrieve your package if you’re not home
– Consider buying a porch lockbox
By taking extra precautions, these Scallywags will be going home empty handed.
