Mailbox thefts reported
Police incident reports in early December show that several thefts from mailboxes have occurred throughout the city. The suspects alter the “amount” and the “payable to” lines and take the checks to banks. In some cases, the teller became suspicious and called the check owner, causing the suspect to leave the bank. There have been some cases of checks successfully cashed.
