9/12/18 A woman was caught on surveillance video stealing mail from dozens of Santa Clara residents, and postal inspectors say it’s just a matter of time before the suspect strikes again in the South Bay.
The suspect used a key to open a cluster of mailboxes outside the Talavera housing development in Santa Clara. The surveillance footage shows the suspect calmly approaching the mailboxes just after 3 a.m. then calmly using a key to open the large access door to the mailbox bank. In about 3 minutes, she gathers a significant bundle of mail.
“She tried two keys,” resident Jitendra Gore said. “She took mail and a lot of packages.”
The woman made two trips to load all the stolen mail into a waiting car.
