Man Accused Of Stealing Amarillo Nat’l Bank Customers Mail

Eliosbeth Rojas is looking at court charges of mail theft from Amarillo National Bank customers.

 

The bank had reported several customers had reported mail thefts earlier this year and Amarillo National had contacted the postal inspector.

 

Subpoenas showed that checks were being intercepted in the mail stream, altered, mobile deposited and withdrawn from several different accounts in Florida, resulting in the loss to be around $294,044.61.

 

Surveillance footage from a post office showed on May 5, at around 12:54 a.m. a dark-colored Mercedes with an unreadable temporary paper tag approaching the USPS collection box.

A man wearing blue jeans and a dark-colored shirt with a bald head is seen stealing armfuls of mail from the side collection door.

 

Apparently,Rojas was in possession of a stolen USPS Arrow key.

 

On July 5, officers watched Rojas and his wife and children exit their home near Bowie Street and followed the vehicle.

 

Rojas stopped near South Washington and exited the vehicle with what appeared to be a United Supermarket plastic bag.

 

Officers lost sight of Rojas, but he returned to the vehicle without the plastic bags.

 

Once Rojas left the scene officers retrieved the bags from the dumpster and found they were full of opened mail.

 

Most of the mail has not been postmarked meaning they have not been processed by USPS and had been stolen.

 

Officers contacted several of the mail owners about their stolen mail.
