PORCH PIRATES

Nicked parcels value soars above £650m

- by GRAHAM HISCOTT

PARCELS worth more than £666million have been pinched by "porch pirates" in the last year.

A survey found 17% of households have had at least one item stolen from their doorsteps in the past 12 months-up nearly a third on the previous 12 months.

That suggests around 4.8million of us have fallen victim.
