    DEFEND AGAINST “PORCH PIRATES” THIS HOLIDAY SEASON

    (ORILLIA, ON) – The Central Region of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) has some helpful tips to keep porch pirates at bay this festive season.

    With the busy shopping season here, parcels will be arriving fast and furious to front porches everywhere. Criminals know this as well. Often referred to as “porch pirates,” these thieves steal packages when no one is at home to accept the parcel. Follow these tips to stay safe from porch pirates: 

    • Request a signature on delivery
    • Ship the package to a trusted neighbour or relative who will be home
    • Have the packages delivered to your work, if allowed by the employer
    • Track your deliveries online so you know when they’re slated to arrive and plan to be home upon delivery
    • Opt for in-store or curb-side pickup wherever possible
    • Install video cameras and post signage to indicate surveillance is in effect
    • Request the package be left out of sight at a rear or side door

    If packages are stolen from your home, report the incident to your local police and the shipping company. If you see suspicious activity in your neighbourhood, contact OPP at 1-888-310-1122 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

    VIDEO: 張哲瀚Zhang Zhehan 紀錄片《八月》

    《八月》是中國演員張哲瀚首次擔任導演的紀錄片,2024年4月14日上線。 該片記錄了張哲瀚在2021年8月突遇網路風暴,演藝人生頃刻被顛倒後的一次自我療愈之旅。 當舞臺與燈光不再,當事業與生活被網路上的不實資訊和惡意扭曲震碎,張哲瀚選擇在兩年後的8月,以自己熱愛的方式向著真實的世界重新出發。從香格里拉到拉薩的騎行之路上,他遇見雪山和冰川,遇見草木牛羊,遇見許多個普通而動人的面孔;他傾聽天地之聲,傾聽陌生人的故事,也傾聽內心的痛和愛。 曾經的8月還未終結,以後的8月依然會來。而這一個《八月》意義非常。 #zhangzhehan_super3 #張哲瀚 #張哲瀚八月 #紀錄片八月 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLwMG6XoJ34&t=11s
