Stolen mail in Massachusetts city has cost postal customers thousands of dollars
CBS News Boston
FRANKLIN - Investigators believe a suspect who has stolen mail from blue postal service mailboxes in Franklin, Massachusetts was able to break into the boxes using keys stolen from a letter carrier.
The carrier was robbed of her keys on July 11 by a man dressed in black, said postal inspector Danielle Schrage.
"We haven't identified any suspects yet, but we are working closely with the PD on that," Schrage told WBZ-TV.
Thieves targeting checks
Since that time, Franklin police say mail has been stolen from blue mailboxes around the city as part of an apparent check "washing" scam.
