MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — Surveillance video shows a thief who swiftly stole mail from dozens of mailboxes on Monday in Miami-Dade County.
The victims, who live in the 69 units at the Midway Gardens community, had already had their mail stolen back in February.
“We have had checks stolen, we have had property stolen, we have had credit cards stolen,” said Arturo Abraeu, the homeowners’ association president at Midway Gardens.
The video shows that the thief wasn’t working alone. After throwing the stolen mail into a white sports utility vehicle, he sat in the back seat, and the driver fled.
“I usually try to get my mail every day,” said Esther Pereira, a resident at Midway Gardens.
The U.S. Postal Service has the case. Mail theft is a federal crime punishable by up to 5 years in prison.
Abraeu had a question for the thieves: “Why would you risk your liberty over such a small reward?”
