The U.S. Postal Inspection Service is currently on the hunt for information about a serious incident that transpired earlier this year in Alameda. A USPS letter carrier was the victim of a robbery on May 13, at around 7:00 p.m. near 2236 Lincoln Avenue. In the hopes of catching the individuals responsible, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service has announced a considerable reward—up to $150,000—for details that could lead to an arrest and conviction.
Details of the suspects have been sparse, but officials have managed to provide a brief description of one suspect, a Hispanic male believed to be around 30 years old with braided hair and of average build, standing about 5’6”. His accomplice, a Black male of a heavy build wearing a white shirt, is said to have acted as the getaway driver. The culprits were last seen escaping the scene in a light brown Nissan. In an enduring effort to maintain public safety, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service strictly advises against any personal attempts to apprehend these individuals.
Postal inspectors are taking this case very seriously, as attacking a federal employee while they are performing their duties is a federal crime with severe consequences. The U.S. Postal Inspection Service's public plea for assistance underscores the seriousness of this offense and the vital role the USPS plays in our communities. For anyone who might hold a piece of this puzzle, they are urged to come forward. Information about the incident should be reported to the U.S. Postal Inspection Service at 1-877-876-2455, with callers instructed to say "Law Enforcement."
