Police urge citizens to practice caution when scheduling deliveries

The Kingston Police have seen a recent increase in the number of ‘porch pirate’ or package theft incidents being reported. 

A majority of these incidents are occurring in downtown neighbourhoods, specifically neighbourhoods populated by university aged students. 

Police are urging citizens to have packages delivered to a near by drop off/pick up site as opposed to their residence if they do not believe they will be home during the scheduled delivery time. 

Individuals who have had items stolen are also urged to file a report by contacting the Kingston Police at 613-549-4660 ext. ‘0’ or by filing an online report at www.kingstonpolice.ca
