DEERFIELD BEACH, Fla. — Authorities in Deerfield Beach are investigating a case of mail theft.

Megan Weller lives right next to the mailboxes at her Deerfield Beach building located at 3910 Crystal Lake Drive.

She said she was shocked to see a woman on her doorbell camera at 6 a.m.

“It sounded like the mail person was here,” said Weller. “I was in my living room. It was very strange because it was 6 a.m. and I didn’t think anything of it, but then I came out like 15 minutes later and this was open. It makes me angry because people they could have checks in there. They have credit cards in there. It’s not right that people take things that are others.”

The woman seen in the video managed to break into one set of mailboxes and leaves with a handful of letters.

“I was a little surprised,” said Weller. “She was so brazen to come into our property and do something like that so it’s a little nerve-racking.”

Video then shows the woman getting into her car and driving away.

An earlier clip shows her looking around the area before she spotted the mailboxes and used some sort of tool to break in.

“I feel a little violated,” said Weller. “It wasn’t my mail that was taken, but I get Amazon packages all the time. If I’m sure if there were packages here, she would’ve taken those as well, and you know this is a nice quiet building. I don’t know. Don’t expect things like that to happen.”

Residents did file reports with the Broward Sheriff’s Office and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service.

Anyone who thinks they recognize the woman in the video is urged to contact BSO or Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS.
