Police are reminding people not to leave money on their doorstep following a theft in the South Norfolk area.     

 

A resident of Kirby Cane, Loddon  reported to police that they left money outside their front door on the evening of the 14 May for the milkman.  On checking the next morning, the money had gone, but before the milkman had been.

 

Inspector James Brown of the Loddon SNT said:  “I am sad to hear that this kind of crime is happening in the area.  I would urge neighbours to be vigilant and report to their local police SNT should they see anyone they don’t recognise acting in a suspicious way in their neighbourhood.” 

 

There are ways to prevent becoming a victim of this:

• Talk to your milk delivery person – arrange a safe place (out of view) where you will leave your money on collection days
• Don’t leave payments on show in an obvious place that can be seen by anyone walking past.
• There are ways now to pay for your milk by direct debit – speak to your local delivery person for detail on how to do this
• Keep an eye out for your neighbours – be aware of who is approaching front doors.
