USPS mail carrier robbed at Memphis apartment complex, postal inspector says

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – A mail carrier was robbed at a Memphis apartment complex Tuesday afternoon, according to a United States Postal Service (USPS) Postal Inspector.

The robbery happened just after noon on January 7 at The Ventura Apartments on Wooddale Avenue, USPS said.

Video released by the postal inspector showed the robber holding a gun on the mail carrier while walking through the apartment complex in broad daylight.

USPS said the robber sped away from the apartment complex in a gray Nissan with white primer paint on the trunk and black passenger’s side quarter panel. The Nissan also had a black rear bumper.

The mail carrier was not injured during the robbery, according to the postal inspector.
