Parcel theft from Peartree Court, Gadswell Close, Watford

Dear Resident,

On Wednesday 26/03/25 at 14.20 hrs two parcels were delivered to Peartree Court, Gadswell Court, Watford and between 14.20 - 19.00 hrs these parcel have gone missing.

If you saw anything or have any CCTV footage from these dates, should you notice any suspicious activity, please contact the police non-emergency number 101. Alternatively, you can give information anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 and quote crime reference: 41/28556/25

Here are some things you could do to reduce the risk of doorstep theft:

Track your parcel to ensure you or someone else is at home for the delivery.

Install a video doorbell; this can be connected to your mobile so you are notified immediately of any delivery, and is easier to install than a full CCTV system.

Install a security light.

Arrange for your parcel to be delivered to a trusted neighbour, or other family members who will be at home; if you live in a flat, is there a concierge who could accept the parcel for you?

Use an off-site locker service for frequent deliveries, or for expensive items; these parcel boxes are more likely to be in busy, safer locations - such as supermarkets - rather than secluded areas which could be targeted by thieves.
