New surveillance video is raising big concerns about how thieves are getting access to mail in the South Bay.
The United States Postal inspector is now investigating whether what happened in Sunnyvale is linked to the armed robbery of a mail carrier on Dec. 30 less than a mile away on Sandia Avenue.
"One suspect had a weapon and demanded the keys from the carrier, who gave the keys to the suspect who left the area," U.S. Postal Inspector Jeff Fitch said.Fitch said there has been a recent increase in robberies targeting mail carriers to get the keys around the Bay Area. The postal inspector reports targeted incidents in Oakland, San Leandro, Berkeley and San Francisco.
The postal inspector said once a key is stolen an investigation is launched and the post office does a security assessment to determine whether to change the locks at large mailbox banks."We're trying to keep a watchful eye and make sure that we don't get our identity stolen," Lee said.
