Thieves loot mail

September 17, 2007

Twenty mailboxes in west Hood River were looted Thursday night. Police are worried about potential identity theft.

“People in that area really need to be watching their accounts for any illegal activity,” said Police Lt. David Thompson. The area hit by mail thieves includes western Sherman Avenue, Eugene and Montello streets and St. Charles Place and Fairview Drive.

Thompson said an unauthorized credit card case emerged this week that might be tied to a mail theft. Suspicious activity may be reported to 387-5253.
