Gardner Police Department Warns of Increase in Theft of Delivered Packages
This is the message from the Gardner PD: ” The Gardner Police Department has seen an increase in the theft of delivered packages on citizen’s doorsteps recently. In most cases, there are expensive items such as cell phones that are delivered and then stolen within minutes. The suspects are often wearing an “Amazon” vest and approach the house carrying a box, then will swap it out with the package that was originally delivered. We are urging the public to keep an eye out, be observant, and if possible note any identifying information of suspicious persons or vehicles (license plates, vehicle make/model etc) if safe to do so. Please contact GPD with any suspicious similar activity.“
