SUMMARY:
On Friday, February 15th, and Tuesday, February 19th, deputies from the Rancho Cucamonga Police Department responded to the post office located in the 6600 block of Amethyst Street for the report of mail theft. On both days, unknown suspects pried open a total of 92 public mailboxes and stole the mail out of them. The mailboxes are located inside the post office’s lobby.

The post office recently adjusted its hours to accommodate people getting their mail on the weekends and evenings. This possibly created a window of opportunity for this crime to occur. Access to the P.O. boxes inside the post office on Amethyst will now resume to regular business hours.
