Crime Stoppers is  looking to catch porch pirates.

As the Holiday season quickly approaches, more shoppers are purchasing gifts online and having them shipped to their homes. Many of these packages are left on porches leaving them open to be snatched up by porch pirates.

Crime Stoppers is offering a guaranteed reward of $250 during the month of December 2018 for information that leads to the identity of a Porch Pirate or the recovery of stolen property.

Crime Stoppers would like to remind everyone that taking simples steps can help reduce porch theft:

• When possible, require a signature for all your packages so they won’t be left on the doorstep
• If possible, use a delivery locker or pickup location if you know you will be out-of-town
• Adding personal security measures such as a front door camera or motion-activated lights can help deter or catch thieves
• Having your packages delivered to your workplace, if feasible

Crime Stoppers takes tips and information anonymously via phone at 519-258-8477 (TIPS) or online at www.catchcrooks.com.
