ROSWELL — The Roswell Police Department caught two men breaking into a freestanding blue mailbox on Brannon Square in Roswell during the overnight hours of April 6.
Detectives recovered a large quantity of stolen mail, and fear there may be more unknowing victims. Police ask that anyone who dropped off checks or other forms of payment in this mailbox anytime this year to check with the payee and financial institution to ensure proper payment was made, and to ensure no unfamiliar checking account transactions were recorded.
Detectives have identified many victims whose payments were never made, or whose check amounts were altered and cashed.
Anyone with more information or who has been a victim of this crime is encouraged to call the non-emergency phone number to file a police report: 770-640-4160.
