## Resource

A shooting investigation in Hampton, Virginia, unexpectedly leads Postal Inspectors to a sprawling identity theft and check fraud operation involving stolen mail, postal keys and more than $2.1 million in losses. Investigators follow a trail of counterfeit checks, bank surveillance and social media posts to uncover a fraud ring led by 25-year-old Christopher “Sauce” Warren—and ultimately bring its members to justice. The episode also explains how the Postal Service is fighting mail theft through Project Safe Delivery and offers practical tips customers can use to better protect their mail.
