USPS Mailbox Fishing Attempt
On Friday, June 2, 2023, at approximately 12:30am, BST
officers observed two males on Queens Blvd and 61st Street
unlawfully using a black leather belt, with an attached “sticky”
substance, placing the device into the USPS mail collection box.
These perpetrators were attempting to remove deposited mail.

personal information deposited within street level mail
receptacles owned by the United States Postal Service.

area of USPS mailboxes.
