United States Postal Service Worker Arrested

Allen Pitman, 54, of San Diego County, California, was arrested after detectives found numerous gift carts, debit cards, and other stolen mail, including W-2 documents and Social Security information, at his home.

It is believed that he had been stealing the mail during his four years of working for the United States Postal Service in Santee, California.

It is unknown at this time how many people were affected by this unfortunate offense. Needless to say, if you were on his route you better place fraud alerts or a credit freeze on your accounts or enroll in an identity theft protection service.
