(Chelsea Update would like to thank Bill and Roben Coury for the information in this story.)
The Lima Neighborhood Watch group was recently informed that there have been three instances of mail thefts from rural mailboxes in the township.
On Dec. 11, a mail carrier left notices advising residents that on Dec. 10, mail was stolen from a home on Easton Road, a home on Trinkle Road, and a home on Lima Center Road.
According to the notice, the mail was opened and tossed out on Seitz Drive.
The Lima Neighborhood Watch group reminds residents to “remain watchful and remember to get as much information as you can if you see something going on that does not look right to you, stay out of harm’s way, but report it to police.”
Also, remove incoming mail from your mailbox as soon as you can, put outgoing mail in your mailbox as close to pick up time as possible, or better yet, put in a mailbox at the post office or another mailbox in a public place.
“The bad guys are out there and we have to be vigilant to protect our information,” says Bill Coury, township neighborhood watch coordinator.
