Parcel theft in Briscoe Road Hoddesdon

Parcel theft in Briscoe Road Hoddesdon

Dear Resident,

Between 09:00 hours to 23:00 hours on Saturday 24th October 2026, Police have received a report of Parcels being stolen in Briscoe Road Hoddesdon. If you feel that you have information or CCTV that may help the investigation, please contact Police online or using 101 quoting crime reference number 41/103544/26.

Here are some things you could do to reduce the risk of doorstep theft:

Track your parcel to ensure you or someone else is at home for the delivery.

Install a video doorbell; this can be connected to your mobile so you are notified immediately of any delivery, and is easier to install than a full CCTV system.

Install a security light.

Arrange for your parcel to be delivered to a trusted neighbour, or other family members who will be at home; if you live in a flat, is there a concierge who could accept the parcel for you?

Use an off-site locker service for frequent deliveries, or for expensive items; these parcel boxes are more likely to be in busy, safer locations - such as supermarkets - rather than secluded areas which could be targeted by thieves.
