Porch piracy, or the theft of recently delivered packages from your porch or another place around your home, is on the rise.

Gwinnett County Police is reminding residents that as the holidays approach, there are a few tips to help keep packages and deliveries to your home safer.

Officials remind residents to have a visible security camera on your porch, especially in high traffic areas.

You should leave instructions to conceal the package when it is possible for delivery drivers to do so

When possible, try to use a porch lock box for smaller items.
