MIDWEST DIVISION
Dear Postal Customer:
The Cass County area
has been the target of vandalism attacks to rural style mailboxes. The
Postal Inspection Service is asking for your cooperation in assisting
local law enforcement and the Postal Inspection Service in identifying
those responsible for these criminal acts. Such activity, if not stopped,
often leads to further criminal acts, including theft of mail.
The following federal law applies to mailbox vandalism activities:
Title 18, United States Code, Section 1705: Whoever willfully or maliciously injures, tears down or destroys any mail box or other receptacle used for the receipt or delivery of mail or breaks open or willfully or maliciously injures, defaces or destroys any mail deposited therein, shall be fined not more than $1,000, or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.
Through the years, it has been discovered that the vast majority of incidents of mailbox vandalism are the result of juveniles playing pranks.
As a customer, you
can take the following precaution to prevent or reduce the likelihood
of vandalism or theft:
Be alert to unknown individuals stopping at your mailbox or that of your
neighbors. Write down license numbers, descriptions of vehicles or individuals,
and the time you observed this activity if you believe they are tampering
with the mailbox or any of its contents.
A REWARD of up to $1,000.00 is being offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for vandalizing mailboxes. If you have information regarding individuals responsible for mailbox vandalism, please contact the Cass County Sheriff’s Office at (218) 547-1424 or our office at (651) 293-3200.
Sincerely,
T. M. Sabby
U. S. Postal Inspector
