AAARRRGHHH!
The Police are warning us of the all those Grinches who are out to steal our Christmas presents this year!
The Property Crimes Unit is seeing more of these types of thefts. Protect your packages from porch pirates. Don't let some Grinch spoil your holiday season. #WPSCommunity #TakeAction https://t.co/oACFPLWo5z pic.twitter.com/knomOh7oCd

Considering how many of us are ordering online this year due to gifts being non-essential… this is definitely something to watch out for. Police have even spotted vehicles following delivery trucks just to steal the packages they leave.
A few preventative measures would be to:
- Set up a delivery alert on your phone
- Have your package delivered at a safe drop off point
- Arrange to have your package delivered when you know you will be home
