A check of the industrial park revealed many of the mailboxes had their mailbox door open or down. It is unknown if there is any more mail missing from other businesses. Messages have been left with businesses whose mail we currently have.
Some ways to reduce your risk of becoming a victim of theft:
Use a lockable mailbox. Never leave outgoing mail in your mailbox. Take all sensitive mail to the post office. Put outgoing mail in an official blue post office drop box. Pick up your mail promptly after delivery. Do not leave mail in your mailbox overnight. Use electronic bill payment when possible.If any business has video of the theft or are a victim themselves, please contact the Germantown Police Department at 262-253-7780, reference case 22-8465.
If any business would like to speak or meet with the Crime Prevention Officer about how they can reduce their risk of becoming a victim, please contact Officer Rechlicz at 262-253-4079.
