INNISFIL – South Simcoe Police Service officers are seeking the public's help to identify two suspects following a theft in Innisfil.

Suspect No. 2: Male, white, late 20's - early 30's, medium build with short, dark hair, black beard and moustache. He was wearing a brown baseball cap, light blue hooded, nylon jacket, blue denim pants and dark shoes. He was carrying small grocery bag and black gym bag.

There are a number of things you can do to reduce the risk of having deliveries go missing:
- Keep a designated package box or container on your porch that deliveries can be placed inside to keep them from being seen by potential thieves
- Try to schedule deliveries for a time to ensure someone is there and available to accept them
- If you will not be home to accept delivery, try to make arrangements to have packages dropped off with a neighbour
- Ask the carrier to place the package in a place out of sight from the street
- Install surveillance cameras at your front door
- Request the delivery be held at the post office
If you see any suspicious activity on your street or in your neighourhood, call police.
