Please follow our top tips to reduce the risk of mail theft:
✉️ Clear your letterbox in a timely manner
✉️ Put a hold on your mail delivery if you’re going away
✉️ Provide clear delivery instructions for couriers to leave a package safely hidden or secured within your property
✉️ Install security cameras and/or security camera messaging near your letterbox or front of property
✉️ Where practical, consider click and collect over delivery
✉️ Send parcels to a work address or ensuring you're home when they arrive
✉️ Contact Police (111 for immediate issues or 105 if it is after the fact) if you see people loitering around vehicles or looking into car windows
✉️ Engage in neighbourhood groups so more people can keep an eye out for suspicious activity

These tips are being shared after a 44-year-old woman will appear in Pukekohe District Court on 28 March charged with theft.
An alleged mail thief in the Pukekohe area has hand-delivered herself into Police, following assistance from the community.
Counties Manukau South Senior Sergeant MJ Riddle says Police were aware of locals discussing a mail theft on social media. A report was made to Police at the time in January and had included enough detail including CCTV footage and a vehicle of interest. Following Police enquiries, the woman has brought herself into the Pukekohe Police Station a few days later

“This is a great result for the community and a timely reminder to the public to continue reporting any thefts from letterboxes.”
Senior Sergeant Riddle says
“Our community should be able to receive parcels and mail without concern of interference but unfortunately there are people in our communities who take advantage of opportunities to commit thefts from mail boxes and front porches."

“We encourage anyone who has been the victim of dishonesty offending to report it as soon as possible,” she says."

I have been advertising on here for nearly 11 years, in fact I’m one of the foundation members.
I have helped 100’s of you with work in your homes.
From little iddy biddy jobs to much larger work like new kitchens and bathrooms, installing new interior and exterior doors and windows, with everything in between.

I only work on the Shore; I live in Hillcrest so I’m never very far away to be able to help you.
I have an Ad in the business section if you would like to check me out.
I’m here to help you, my company motto is – ‘DIY you can’t do yourself’.
You know it is always cheaper to get someone to do the work that you aren’t sure about.
Oh, I know, the good old Kiwi adage ‘she’ll be right’, just doesn’t cut it most of the time.
We are all fantastic in our respective areas of expertise.
I do spend time with you so that I feel comfortable with the knowledge that you and I are putting together something that you want, that the design is great and workable.
Oh, I do have an offsider, Mike has 40+ years experience and I have 50+ years.
Bruce – text or call so we can set up a time for me to visit 021 212 1480
