The Middlesex Police Department reminds residents to be extra careful and extra alert during the holiday season. “In our area we have seen a considerable spike in thefts of packages from doorsteps and in thefts from vehicles.” Police Chief Matthew P. Geist remarked, “We are reminding our residents to be extra careful and extra vigilant.”

Police are asking that residents take measures to reduce opportunities for thieves. Avoid stor...ing valuable items in your vehicles. If you must store items in your vehicle, make sure that they are hidden from prying eyes and that the vehicle’s doors are locked when it is unattended.
If you shop online, coordinate the delivery of packages for times when someone can be at home to accept them. You can also have packages delivered to your place of work or to a trusted neighbor. “Middlesex is a tight-knit community and that accounts for much of its charm. We ask residents to not only look out for themselves, but to look out for their neighbors, as well” added Chief Geist.
