‘Tis the season for stolen packages, thanks to modern-day Grinches swiping them right off people’s front stoops.
"We have more people getting packages delivered to their house. So the opportunity’s there, people are going to take advantage of that opportunity," said Assistant Chief Justin Carmichael of the Round Rock Assistant Police Chief Justin Carmichael. "The reason we started this program was an increase in package thefts," said Carmichael.
Carmichael says you can have your package shipped to the Round Rock Police Department, under your name, from now through Dec. 22. "We hold them for three days and people can come in during business hours and pick up their packages," said Carmichael. "It’s been pretty popular over the years. We've had over 1,100 packages shipped to the police department.""You obviously don't want to leave those packages out there visible on the porch for an extended period of time so," said Kyle Assistant Police Chief Pedro Hernandez.
Hernandez suggests using a drop box with a lock, or signing up for notifications, so you know when your package is delivered. "If you can't pick them up yourself, have somebody, a trusted neighbor or family member, pick them up for you," said Hernandez."We've seen a lot of success in identifying suspects," said Hernandez. "They're captured on somebody's doorbell, camera or security surveillance camera. So they have been useful."
