US Postal Service mailbox blown up in Oakland, CA

(KRON) — A U.S. Postal Service collection box was blown up by an unidentified explosive device near the intersection of Greenly Drive and Circle Hill Drive in Oakland on July 11.

USPS Postal Inspector Jonathan Lanning told KRON4 that it’s unclear if someone intentionally placed an explosive inside the collection box.

“Use of an explosive device is a federal crime and placing one whether intentional or unintentional in the mail jeopardizes the safety of USPS postal employees and our customers,” Lanning said.
