Postal perp faces charges after being arrested for Murray Hill mail heists

A man was arrested on Wednesday for allegedly stealing mail and impersonating a postal worker multiple times in Murray Hill this year.

Daniel Holmes was arrested on Aug. 21 for allegedly obtaining and using a U.S. Postal Service mailbox key to steal mail from locked relay boxes and mailboxes in Murray Hill. His charges include impersonating a postal worker and committing mail theft.

Holmes is alleged to have committed the crimes in at least eight separate incidents from February to July 2024, according to U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) court documents.

DOJ declined to comment on the case. But, video footage from the first incident, which occurred on Feb. 7 at around 12:58 p.m., shows the defendant in a postal service uniform allegedly stealing mail from a relay box on Park Avenue South. In the video, he walks away with a box of mail.
