On Wednesday, USPS announced that two of the three men, one in the gray shirt and one in the blue shirt, have been identified thanks to the help of the community, as well as local and federal law enforcement.
At this point, they’re not releasing the names.
The USPS is still trying to identify the suspect in the black jacket.
A postal inspector with the USPS Houston Division said the guys were likely after checks that are often used by thieves to open fraudulent accounts and take money from victims’ bank accounts.
According to the inspector, this is a growing problem in the Houston area. He said the suspects in this case used a counterfeit master key to get inside the mailboxes.
