Joplin Police Department investigating thefts from mailboxes

(From the Joplin Police Department)

Mail Thieves


We have experienced several cases of a thief in the night stealing mail from mailboxes.

We are following leads from witnesses but wanted everyone to be aware and to provide some tips to avoid being a victim:

-don't leave your mail in your mailbox overnight

-check your mail as soon as possible after it arrives

-if out of town, make arrangements with the Post Office or someone you trust to get your mail for you


-don't place bills in your mailbox to be picked up by the mail carrier if you can instead get it to a post office drop off box

-As always, watch for and report suspicous vehicles and people to our department
