PSA: iPhone Package Thefts
Residents who order iPhones are advised to request that their package require a signature (and plan to have someone home to receive the package) or to ship it to a secure location such as a store for later pickup. Packages containing iPhones have become targets for theft regionally as well as in Somerville. Thieves may trail FedEx trucks in vehicles or mopeds, waiting for the devices to be delivered and the theft may occur within minutes of delivery. If suspicious activity is observed, such as a vehicle or moped suspiciously circling in the neighborhood during day-time hours, please call 911.
