About This Program

Parcel theft is no longer just a petty crime for opportunist thieves but a lucrative business model for criminal gangs, costing more than an estimated £650 million a year. Every seven seconds a parcel is stolen in Britain, prompting reporter Tir Dhondy to go on a mission to catch the crooks behind the escalating crime wave. This documentary reveals the stark reality of Britain's disappearing doorstep deliveries, as Tir gains exclusive access to a major police operation, seeing first-hand how cops are tracking and tackling the organised gangs who are determined to pinch victims' festive purchases

Hunting Britain's Parcel Thieves: Dispatches broadcasts on Channel 4 at 8:00pm, Friday, 19 December 2025. (Subtitles, repeat)
