Postal Inspectors Offer $100,000 Rewards in Chicago Mail-Theft Probe

Investigators seek public tips using released surveillance images after a months-long string of thefts at residential buildings.

Overview

  • The U.S. Postal Inspection Service is offering $100,000 for information leading to the arrest of each of three suspected accomplices in Chicago mail thefts.
  • Flyers feature surveillance images and detailed descriptions, including age ranges, builds, clothing, and the use of large blue satchels to carry stolen mail.
  • Inspectors say the thefts have targeted residential buildings across the city since mid-January, with no specific addresses released.
  • Anyone with tips is asked to call 877-876-2455, say "law enforcement" at the prompt, and reference Case No. 4142062.
  • No arrests were announced, which highlights USPIS’s push for public leads and its role as the federal agency that investigates crimes involving the mail.
