A postal service letter carrier was robbed at gunpoint in Tamarac.
Detectives with the Broward Sheriff’s Office Robbery Unit and U.S. postal inspectors with the U.S. Postal Inspection Service are investigating the armed robbery in Tamarac.
On Wednesday, Nov. 16, BSO district deputies responded to an armed robbery incident. The postal service letter carrier was working his mail delivery route near the 7000 block of Northwest 64th Court in Tamarac that afternoon, delivering mail on foot, when he was approached by the subject requesting a package that was not on his route.
The postal worker told the subject that he did not deliver to the address he requested and proceeded to return to his mail truck. That is when the subject confronted the postal worker with a semi-automatic handgun and asked for the carrier’s keys. The postal worker complied, and the subject fled the scene.
The subject is described as an adult male, approximately 5 feet 6 inches tall, possibly in his 20’s. He was last seen wearing a grey hoodie, black pants, and a black facemask.
Anyone with information regarding the subject’s identity in this armed robbery is asked to contact BSO Robbery Detective Mark Copley at 954-321-4738 or submit a tip through the SaferWatch App.
