Waterloo Regional Police are working with Canada Post Security to investigate a series of thefts from Canada Post mail boxes and Community Letter Boxes.

The suspects are targeting the boxes for cheques and credit card applications.

On July 11, 2010, at approximately 1:49pm, a male suspect was seen placing mail from a box on King Street North into a blue container. The suspect, described as White, 6', and a shaved head, then left the area in a blue vehicle driven by another male.

The container and some of the mail was later located in a nearby dumpster. It is unknown if anything was taken.

Police are currently urging anyone planning to mail items of monetary value to take them directly to a Canada Post Office.

Police continue to investigate and urge anyone noticing suspicious activity to contact police at once.

Anyone with information regarding these thefts is encouraged to contact Waterloo Regional Police Division #3 Detectives at 519-653-7700 ext 3386, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (1-800-222-8477)
