	13-DEC-2011	From the Police Chief – How to protect your mail deliveries Recently a resident on North Road reported that someone had opened a package that was left by a delivery person. This seems to be a happening quite frequently as I heard about a similar incident on the news the other night. I found a few ideas on the web that may be useful: Request a signature confirmation of delivery. By doing this, the deliverer will have to wait until you’re available or deliver the package to a neighbor. If you have an understanding boss, have your packages delivered to you at work. Track packages online to see exactly when they’re sent to your house for delivery. If you’re out of town at the time, phone a neighbor to pick up the package for you. Leave special instructions for where to deliver the packages. A good place is on the side or back of the house, so that the package is out of site from the road.
	23-NOV-2011	Candia Police Notice – Burglaries on Jane Drive & Chester Turnpike On Friday, November 18, 2011, a resident on Jane Drive reported their house had been broken into sometime during the day. Loose change and jewelry were taken. On Tuesday, November 22, 2011, a resident on Chester Turnpike came home to discover that their home had been burglarized sometime during the day. Assorted jewelry was taken. It appears that in these burglaries and others elsewhere, the thieves are predominately taking gold and jewelry to cash in. I urge you to take photos of your property in the event that you are a victim. This can assist in checking with various gold and pawn dealers/shops.   One common tactic being used by thieves is that sometimes a person is dropped off and will approach the residence. The driver will then the leave the area and come back minutes later to pick them up. We are actively working on these cases and ask that if you see any vehicles or person(s) walking in your neighborhood or street that you are not familiar with to please call the Candia Police Department immediately at 483-2318.
