As a matter of practice, we suggest that residents do not place checks into blue USPS mailboxes, or in the outgoing mail from your residence. The only secure way to mail checks is to physically walk them into the post office. There is no more information at this time.

Additionally, checks contain your personal information and your bank account number – this information can easily be sold online if one of your checks falls into the wrong hands.

The Needham Police Department is communicating with the US Postal Inspectors Office and the matter is currently under investigation. Checks that are stolen from the mail are washed, re-written, and deposited into various bank accounts by criminals.

It is also recommended that those who placed checks in blue USPS mailboxes during the above-mentioned timeframe make appropriate arrangements with the intended recipients of those checks so that they understand the checks may have been intercepted and will no longer be delivered.

Due to this suspected incident, we are recommending anyone who placed checks in mailboxes during the above-mentioned timeframe to contact your financial institutions and take the necessary steps to protect the accounts related to those specific checks.

***FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE*** The Needham Police Department has received a report of a mail theft that may have compromised multiple U.S. Postal Service mailboxes in town between Saturday afternoon on 12/17/22 and Monday morning on 12/19/22.
