Why have I never heard of this before.
I think I remember getting this notice from the United States Postal Service around the holidays, but now since it's Easter, I guess Grandparents and family members send packages through the mail.
One man was working with a few USPS employees to steal credit cards and checks while another man was peddling Heroin and Cocaine, and now both are on their way to prison.
He was just one of the perpetrators, but a Newark man has admitted to his role in stealing credit cards from the mail and then using them to make retail and online purchases totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Toms River Police and the United States Postal Inspection Service are asking residents to remain cautious and vigilant as they investigate complaints of "fraudulent mail holds" that are being placed on addresses in the area.
