There are a number of actions people can take to protect themselves from mail theft, including sending parcels to a work address or ensuring you will be at home when they arrive.
Other top tips to reduce the risk of mail theft include:
Clear your letterbox in a timely manner
Put your mail delivery on hold if you’re going away
Provide clear delivery instructions for couriers to leave a package safely hidden or secured within your property
Install security cameras and/or security camera messaging near your letterbox or the front of your property
Where practical, consider click and collect over delivery
“If you see any suspicious activity, such as unfamiliar people loitering around properties or looking in mailboxes, please contact Police immediately.”
Police also encourage people to join a neighbourhood support group as it can be a good way to deter theft.
Suspicious activity can be reported to police on 111 if it is happening now, or 105 if it is after the fact.
