Kennett Township Police Dept.: PSA Chief Matthew Gordon of the Kennett Township Police Department announced at the Board of Supervisors Public Meeting on Wednesday, March 19th in his Department Head Report that the number of reported thefts from mailboxes continues to rise. It appears that residents are being targeted when mailbox flags are up to alert mail carriers that mail needs to be picked up. We ask that our residents exercise caution when putting checks in the mail and, as always, report suspicious activity! If you have a security camera, consider aiming it to capture your mailbox and make sure it is functioning properly.
