Mail thieves steal Christmas

December 22, 2016

Several law enforcement agencies, including the Boundary County Sheriff's Office, the Bonners Ferry Police Department and the Idaho State Police, are working together and believe they are close to making an arrest in a rash of mail thefts in three counties earlier this month that targeted mainly Christmas cards and credit cards. So far, 36 Boundary County residents have been identified as victims, most within Bonners Ferry city limits. Additional victims have been identified in Bonner and Kootenai Counties. Those who suspect that their mail may have been stolen are encouraged to contact their local law enforcement agency, and those missing debit or credit cards should notify their bank immediately. Law enforcement can provide the case number to provide the financial institution.
