Sanilac County Sheriff warns of holiday mail thieves

The Sanilac County Sheriff’s Office is investigating several reports of stolen mail in Custer and Wheatland Townships that have occurred within the last week. It is believed the thieves are targeting mailboxes looking for Christmas cards with money or gift cards inside. Residents are reminded to please use caution in sending these types of items by mail.

The Sheriff’s Office would like to remind residents, that this is the time of year when people also fall prey to thefts of packages being left on door steps. Please be sure to contact UPS, Fed Ex or any other delivery service if you are expecting packages, to schedule deliveries for times that someone is available to receive the package without it being left out in the open.

If anyone sees any suspicious activity please contact Sanilac County Central Dispatch at 810-648-2000 to report it.Tracu
