Six armed robberies on DC metro-area letter carriers have taken place ahead of July 4th weekend
U.S. postal service officials have sounded the alarm over at least six armed robberies on mail carriers that happened in Maryland and Washington, D.C., over a two-day period, according to a report.
“This alarming trend needs to stop,” U.S. Postal Inspection Service (USPIS) spokesman Michael Martel said at a press conference. “It is a sad state of things when it comes down to robberies against someone that provides an essential service to our communities. But it’s happening here, and it’s got to end.”
Declining to go into too much detail on a potential motive, Martel said the suspects are taking personal property as well as “a wide variety of items that the postal service provides their carriers to do their jobs on a daily basis,” though he does not believe they have stolen any mail at this time.
DC has some of the strictest Gun-Control laws in the country…
Proving every day that the laws are useless…SCOTUS has already defined most of them as unconstitutional!
Guess they looking for Biden Ballots !!!!
Postal employees (some not all) are the criminals. When we pay bills at work the checks always go into a post office locked drop box. Some how our checks end up in the hands of criminals who change the name on the check and try cashing it.
