Police are suggesting that people have packages delivered to a nearby drop off/pick up site as opposed to their residence, if they don’t think they will be home at the time of the delivery.

Individuals who have had items stolen are also urged to file a report by contacting the Kingston Police at 613-549-4660 ext. ‘0’ or by filing an online report at www.kingstonpolice.ca
