GPD has received an increased number complaints about checks that have been stolen from post office boxes. Criminals will steal checks from these mail boxes and alter the payee and amount in order to steal money from victims' bank accounts. Victims are often alerted to the scheme when the original payee doesn't receive the check intended for them. GPD is working with the US Postal Inspectors to investigate these thefts. Residents are urged not to use public mail boxes to mail items of monetary value or for mail containing sensitive information. In those situations, its best to deliver the mail over the counter inside the post office. Please contact GPD at 860-633-8301 if you have been a victim of this crime.
