“This is a shame. It’s happening more and more now,” said Andrew Breton who lives nearby.

“I find it disturbing as it’s happening to other people. Moreover, I also can only imagine there’s a lot of people in more stressful situations than usual. However, it’s natural because of the state of the economy now. Therefore, I’m also not surprised that people might be desperate to stealing packages,” he said.
