Connecticut postal worker charged with stealing money orders
STAMFORD — A 22-year-old Greenwich postal worker, who is a person of interest in the theft of more than $300,000 in postal money orders from the Old Greenwich post office, was arraigned Friday on forgery and larceny charges.
Within two hours of being arraigned at state Superior Court in Stamford, Keiyana Lawhorne posted a $250,000 bond and was released.
Lawhorne, 22 was charged by Greenwich police Thursday with conspiracy to commit forgery and conspiracy to commit fourth-degree larceny.
Judge Alex Hernandez said at Lawhorne’s arraignment that “in excess of $300,000” in postal money orders had been fraudulently cashed, and that the evidence against Lawhorne indicated she has been engaged in a pattern of cashing them.
