West Shore RCMP are advising the public to collect deliveries as soon as possible, after several reports of parcels being stolen from front porches and apartment lobbies over the weekend.

Such complaints tend to increase during the holiday season, when more parcels are being sent, police said.

Thefts of parcels from parked vehicles are also routine, said police, who advised keeping them out of sight in trunks.
