ORLANDO, Fla. – The U.S. Postal Service is searching for the person who robbed a mail carrier at gunpoint in Orlando during the middle of the afternoon. This incident is the latest in a string of similar robberies in Central Florida.
Investigators report that the suspect escaped with the carrier’s universal key, known as an Arrow key.
Video footage shows a black car leaving the scene. Moments before, the USPS confirmed one of their mail carriers was robbed while on duty.
The USPS confirmed the robbery, noting that the carrier was unharmed, but the Arrow key was stolen. These keys are used to open mail receptacles in apartment complexes and neighborhoods.
This incident is part of a rising trend of mail carrier robberies. In April, another postal worker was robbed on Minnesota Avenue in Winter Park.
