CHICAGO (AP) — Three former postal carriers from Chicago are among 11 people indicted following an investigation into the theft of credit cards from the mail.
The Chicago Sun-Times reports that federal prosecutors said the workers were charged Thursday with conspiring to steal mail and committing unauthorized access device fraud.
A former mail carrier from Broadview, Illinois, and one from College Park, Georgia, also were charged, as were six other Chicago-area residents.
Prosecutors said the 18-month conspiracy involved the theft of credit cards and other financial instruments in order to sell them for cash or other items.
