The Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office is cautioning residents about porch piracy.

Porch pirates have struck several times in the county already this year and will likely continue their raids throughout the holidays.

They have been known to follow Amazon, UPS, and FedEx trucks and grab packages soon after delivery.

Residents can defend themselves against porch pirates by bringing in packages as quickly as possible.

Sign up for text-based delivery notifications, ask a neighbor to bring your packages inside if you are away, or use deterrents such as Package Guard or a video doorbell.
