LACEY, Wash. — The Lacey Police Department is issuing a warning for those who live in the area.
Officers say they’ve seen a rash of mail thefts recently.
“These thieves are likely looking for your tax refund checks,” the department says.
Officers urge everyone to check their mailboxes daily and not to leave anything inside. Instead, they suggest residents drop their outgoing mailboxes off at a blue U.S. Postal Service box.
