SUFFOLK, Va. (WAVY) — The Suffolk Police Department (SPD) is investigating a rash of stolen checks across the city.
Recently, police have received a number of reports of checks being stolen and washed from mailboxes and public postal drop boxes in our area.
Police advise residents not to use public drop-boxes or accessible mailboxes for sending checks. Instead, residents are advised to walk into the Post Office to mail their checks. SPD says this will ensure that no one will have access to your mail.
Anyone who has been the victim of this crime should report it to the Suffolk Police Department at 757-923-2350 or the FTC at www.ic3.gov.
