London, Ont., police are reminding residents to keep an eye on their mailboxes after a string of incidents in November.

They received several complaints of people reportedly looking through unlocked mailboxes across the city between Nov. 9 and 23.

When approached by homeowners, the suspects reportedly told them that they were delivering mail.

Some of the victims reported receiving new credit cards and bank accounts opened in their names without their knowledge or consent, police say.
