PACKAGE THEFT PREVENTION

With packages arriving at doorsteps every day, a few simple precautions can help protect your deliveries from theft.

Track your deliveries: Sign up for delivery notifications so you know when your packages are expected to arrive.

Bring packages inside promptly: Avoid leaving deliveries unattended for long periods. If you’re away, ask a trusted neighbor to collect them.

Choose a secure delivery location: When available, consider a delivery locker or request that packages be left in a location out of public view.

Consider a security camera: Cameras can help monitor your front porch and may provide useful evidence if a theft occurs.

Plan ahead: If you’ll be away from home, consider scheduling deliveries for when you return or having packages sent to a secure location.

See something suspicious? Report suspicious activity to the West University Place Police Department at 713-668-0330. If you witness a crime in progress, call 9-1-1.

On October 14, 2026, at 11:55 A.M., an officer with the West University Place Police Department was flagged down by a witness who observed a burglary of a vehicle that had just occurred in the 2700 block of Pemberton St. Shortly after, a 911 call was received from a witness who observed a separate burglary of a vehicle occur involving a vehicle matching the same description. Officers then located the vehicle in the 3600 block of Plumb and attempted to conduct a traffic stop. The vehicle fled at a high rate of speed, and a vehicle pursuit was initiated. The suspect vehicle quickly outdistanced officers, who then observed the suspect vehicle had been involved in an accident in the 3500 block of Bissonnet St. Both occupants had fled the suspect vehicle on foot. With the assistance of the Houston Police Department, Bellaire Police Department, and Southside Place Police Department, a perimeter was established in the area. An extensive search was conducted, but the suspects were not located at the time.
