Anyone who may know the man or who has relevant information is urged to contact police.

Bundaberg Patrol Group Chief Inspector Grant Marcus encouraged residents to consider installing security cameras at their properties to deter would-be thieves and help police to investigate suspicious activity.

"Parcel theft is an opportunistic offence and occurs on a consistent basis." he said.

"Residents can also utilise tamper proof padlocks on mailboxes. If you are a victim of parcel theft or see anything suspicious, report it to police immediately."
