A West Salem woman faces felony charges after police searched her apartment and found stolen mail belonging to over 200 people, according to the Salem Police Department.

Ashley A. Wood, 31, was charged on Tuesday in Polk County Circuit Court with identity theft, first-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument, computer crime, two counts of mail theft and first-degree forgery. She also had a warrant for an earlier forgery charge in Marion County.

Wood’s arrest is part of a longtime investigation into mail theft in the Salem area. Several people have been arrested on similar charges in recent months, and one woman was sentenced in July to nine years in state prison after pleading guilty to stealing checks and mail from over 100 people and businesses in Salem.
