Thieves want the mail but they’re also after arrow keys that can open all of the mailboxes in an entire zip code.Mail keys or"arrow keys" for sale on the internet. Thieves use these keys to steal mail from mailboxes. Our KPRC2 Investigation uncovered the growing problem of mail carrier robberies and mail theft in the Houston area and across the country.Albergo lives in New Jersey but says Texas is a hotbed when it comes to mail theft and robberies of mail carriers.
Our KPRC 2 Investigates team obtained the latest numbers we obtained from the United States Postal Inspection Service.Of those, 35 were in the Greater Houston area. “In Houston, there are neighborhoods where carriers won’t deliver the mail. They actually have requested postal police escorts and of course, we can’t escort them. So the mail doesn’t get delivered,” said Albergo.Since last August, postal police all across the country have been confined to patrolling only on postal property, like at the post office. Here’s a look at the zip codes where mail carriers have been robbed in our area.
No one from the U.S. Postal Inspection Service would talk with us on camera about this problem or about why postal police are no longer allowed to patrol. TheRelated:
