SESSER — We’re now into that time of year when people will be shopping and ordering holiday gifts, and you know there will be some out there who will be waiting to steal packages off your porch.

The city of Sesser is offering you a way to keep that from happening. If you are going to order packages online, you can have them shipped to City Hall for safe keeping.

Sesser Mayor Jason Ashmore said in a Facebook post shared on the City of Sesser Facebook page that a picture ID will be required to pick up any packages from City Hall.
