Security Security

Safe deliveries

24/7 Security Services has noted an increase
in courier robberies in the Fourways area.
Our Armed Reaction Teams are on high
alert, and the Control Room monitors all
delivery activities.

All clear
You wouldn’t normally invite strangers into
your home; the same applies to courier
deliveries. Before opening the door or gate,
verify the identification of the person.
Also, look for activity in the street that
might indicate that the courier van is being
followed.

Plan ahead
When ordering goods online, you usually
get a notification of the delivery date and,
sometimes, time. This allows you to plan
ahead, ensuring that someone is at home to
accept the delivery. Sometimes, depending
on the supplier and what you have ordered,
you can track delivery in real-time.

In other cases, the delivery personnel will
phone you shortly before arriving. Use
these notifications to help verify that you
are opening for the correct person and
prepare for the delivery. This way, you can
ensure that the delivery occurs as quickly
as possible and that you don’t keep the
delivery personnel waiting.

Be aware
Be alert and look out for suspicious persons
or vehicles throughout the delivery. This
includes checking if the courier van is
followed when they arrive, being vigilant
while the delivery is taking place, and
checking if any persons or vehicles are
loitering in the street before leaving.
