DOVER, Del. (AP) - Authorities in Delaware are investigating several thefts from U.S. Postal Service mail collection boxes.
Dover Police on Thursday reported at least eight cases in the past three weeks in which thieves have removed mail from mailboxes and stolen checks and other valuables from inside envelopes. Investigators said the suspects have altered checks to receive the money themselves, including one case for $40,000.
Collection boxes on Buckson Drive and on South Bradford Street have been targeted in the thefts, according to police.
