With the holidays approaching, mail theft is on the rise prompting Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station officials to encourage residents to stay informed on what is inside their mailbox. 

Law enforcement is advising residents to sign up for Informed Delivery, a program allows residents to see what mail is being delivered even before making a trip to the mailbox, according to officials.

The postal service takes pictures of mail as it is scanned at their facilities, and then shares those digital images with residents for free in a daily email.

This way, residents can be aware of important mail that is being delivered, and avoid leaving important items in the mailbox, according to officials.

“We encourage you to sign up for this free program, especially with the holiday season fast approaching,” sheriff’s officials said in a social media post.
