A CHEPSTOW householder is among six across Gwent targeted by criminals in a parcels scam.

Criminals order valuable goods to be delivered to the victim's address and then arrange to pick them up because there has been a "delivery error".

In the Chepstow incident, an iPod Touch music player was sent to the victim.

Gwent Police say there have been six such incidents across the county over the last three months.

A 26-year-old London man has been arrested and bailed on suspicion of committing fraud by misrepresentation.

Police say anyone who receives a parcel unexpectedly should contact Gwent Police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
