Delta police are investigating a rash of mail box thefts in South Delta.
According to police, on Monday officers responded to four separate incidents of mail box theft that had occurred overnight on Sunday at four apartment buildings between the 1100 block to the 1600 block of 55th Street.
“Suspect(s) made entry to the secure lobbies, in some cases causing damage to front door plates while in other cases there was no apparent damage,” said police public affairs coordinator Sharlene Brooks. “In all four instances the bank of mailboxes had been breached and it is unknown what if any mail had been stolen from each compartment.”
In light of the thefts, police are reminding citizens to pick up mail daily whenever possible. It is also suggested as a matter of safe practice, to follow up with a financial institution or retailer if expecting a credit card in the mail. Additionally, to follow up with any government agency if expected documents are not received in the anticipated timeframe.
Brooks said forensics investigations were conducted at all four apartments in an attempt to gather any evidence left behind by suspect(s).
Police are continuing with their investigation.
Any residents with information on these thefts are asked to contact police at 604-946-4411.
