Police have arrested a 35-year-old Hamilton woman after a series of parcel thefts around Waikato.
Hamilton police said in recent weeks they had received a number of reports about parcels going missing from the doorsteps of houses.
They were reminding the public to take extra caution to ensure the safe delivery of parcels.
"Use the carriers' parcel tracking services to keep an eye on when your parcel is due to arrive. If you are not home, make sure your parcel is left somewhere safe and out of sight, or ask a neighbour or friend to collect it from your doorstep."
Police asked residents to watch out for anything suspicious, take note of the activity and vehicle number plates and make a report to police by calling 105 or 111 if it's urgent or making an online report.
A spokesperson said the accused woman was facing five charges of burglary, and was due to appear in the Hamilton District Court on Thursday.
