The OPP are reminding residents and local businesses to remain vigilant during the holiday season, as December is historically one of the busiest times of the year for both shoplifting and package thefts-commonly known as “porch piracy.”
With increased foot traffic in retail stores and a surge in online shopping, opportunistic thieves often take advantage of the busy season. Dufferin OPP encourages everyone to take simple steps to help prevent crime and protect their property.
The OPP encourages retailers to ensure adequate staff coverage during peak hours, maintain clear sightlines throughout stores, and secure high-value merchandise.
