LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The Indian Hills Police Department (IHPD) is investigating stolen mail at the blue USPS mailbox near the PNC Bank on Brownsboro Road, a spokesperson with the department said.
They said there have been reports of people stealing checks from the mailboxes and cashing or depositing them into different accounts. The last known theft occurred in early February but wasn’t noticed until later.
Ed Trejo, inspector and spokesperson for the U.S. Postal Inspector's Regional Office in Cincinnati, said this investigation had been launched "a couple of weeks ago." So far, he said there are no suspects or arrests, but they are following leads.
IHPD asks that people not send checks through that mailbox after posting the last pick-up time. They said to drop off outgoing mail inside a USPS branch.
