Channel 2 Cobb County Bureau Chief Michele Newell reported that the victims alerted the Postal Service to what was going on. Mail carrier Bianca Wheat is now in jail, facing numerous felony charges.
Police say Wheat worked at a USPS processing center in Acworth. Some of the homeowners on her route noticed credit cards were missing from their mailboxes and being used.
Investigators believe Wheat worked with others to steal credit cards and identities, draining thousands of dollars from accounts.
“This not only was an inside job, but there’s people outside as well,” said an alleged victim, who asked not to be identified. “Since they haven’t caught them yet, I don’t want anybody to know who I am.”
