Ridgefield Police Warn Of A Spike In Mail Theft

RIDGEFIELD, CT — The Ridgefield Police Department is warning residents about a rise in mail theft.

Police say they are investigating incidents involving a black sedan seen in the north side of town.

The spike in crime is likely due to an increase in checks and cash being sent through the mail and left in residential mail boxes during the holiday season, the RPD posted on social media.

The alert in Ridgefield follows a similar episode last week in Easton.

The Ridgefield police are urging residents to not hesitate, and call them immediately, if they spy any unusual activity.
