The United States Postal Service is asking the public for help locating a man who robbed a postal officer in Oakland earlier this month.
OAKLAND -- The USPS announced Wednesday that they are offering a $150,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest of a suspect. The alleged robbery took place around 3:45 p.m. March 2 in the 400 block of Euclid Avenue. In surveillance video, you can hear the mail carrier scream as she was accosted by the robber. 'It's not too rare these days,' said Dahla Williams, a woman who lives in the neighborhood.
Norfleet says USPS consistently changes the locks but it won't happen immediately. 'There are going to be opportunities for criminals to exploit those keys,' Norfleet said. 'We do want to let people know if they don't get mail that they're expecting, especially if it can be financially exploited, like a check or a credit card. Those people should also contact postal inspectors.'Tyler Hilligoss lives nearby.
