CATASAUQUA, Pa. — The Catasauqua Police Department is warning residents to take immediate action after an unknown amount of mail was stolen from two blue U.S. Postal Service mailboxes early Wednesday morning.
The theft occurred at the corner of Second and Bridge streets, according to a department statement. Police urge anyone who deposited mail at that location on Tuesday, July 8, to cancel payment on any checks and assume the mail will not reach its intended recipient.
This is the second time a theft has occurred at this location within the last few months. On May 15, the same boxes were “fished” and numerous mail items were stolen.
Officials have not said how the theft occurred or how many items may have been taken. It remains unclear whether any suspects have been identified. This is the second reported mail theft incident in Catasauqua since May.
The investigation is ongoing. Police are asking residents to report any suspicious or fraudulent account activity to the department immediately.
The U.S. Postal Inspection Service has also been notified.
Residents who believe they may have been affected can contact the Catasauqua Police Department at 610-264-0577.
