Three people were arrested in connection with a robbery of a United States Postal Service worker earlier today. Harvey spokesperson Glenn Harston II released the statement this evening:
“The Harvey Police Department, in collaboration with U.S. Postal Inspectors, swiftly apprehended suspects and recovered stolen mail following an armed robbery of a United States Postal Service (USPS) letter carrier.
At approximately 9:55 a.m. on January 8, a USPS letter carrier was delivering mail near 15801 S. Halsted Street when an unidentified male suspect brandished a black firearm with a drum magazine and demanded money. The suspect searched the carrier’s pockets, entered the mail truck, and stole two bins of packages and a backpack before fleeing the scene.
