Protecting your deliveries

Sussex Police has advice on preventing stolen doorstep deliveries. Its tips include:

Track your parcel
So that you or someone else is at home for the delivery.
Video doorbell
Connected to your mobile, so you are told straight away when a delivery arrives.
Security light
Install a security light.
Trusted neighbour
Arrange for the parcel to go to a trusted neighbour or family member who will be at home.
Locker service
Use an off-site locker for frequent deliveries or expensive items.
