Dear Resident, On 18/08/2025 between 11:37 and 16:20, a theft of parcel occurred on Queens Road, Watford. 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.For further general crime prevention advice visit our website www.herts.police.uk/cp/crime-prevention/ You can share this message easily to your own Social Media by clicking the ‘Share’ button below. |
