Smyrna post office employee among 2 charged with stealing checks, credit cards from mail

A Smyrna post office worker has been charged with stealing checks, credit cards and debit cards from the mail and then working with another man to cash the checks and use the cards.

Smyrna Police Lt. Brian Donner said detectives believe all the thefts happened at the Smyrna post office. The investigation lasted several months, and Smyrna police received help from the U.S. Postal Inspector’s Office and Dover police.

Some of the checks were altered and cashed, police said, while the cards were used to make purchases and withdrawals.
