CHICAGO — Another $100,000 reward is being offered as postal inspectors try to put the brakes on rampant mail theft across Chicago. The latest bounty is for a man who dressed in a postal worker uniform to try to steal mail in the Loop.
The man allegedly stole mail from a “corporate building” in the Loop last month and then dressed as a mail carrier to try to steal more mail from a different Loop building this month.
The U.S. Postal Inspection Service is offering up to $100,000 for information leading to the man’s arrest and conviction. They can be contacted at 877-876-2455 about case #4258206.
Dressing up as a postal worker to steal mail is not a new tactic. CWBChicago reported on a thief who used a similar ruse to steal mail in Lincoln Park in 2022.
On Monday, postal inspectors announced three separate $100,000 rewards for men suspected of stealing mail across Chicago for several months.
