“Recently, West Sacramento Police Officer Nahmens conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle for a vehicle code violation. The driver, Paul Brennan, was found to have a Felony Warrant out of Placer County.
During a search of the vehicle, a large amount of open and unopen mail and packages were recovered. It appeared the majority of the stolen mail belonged to residents in the Southport area. The search also revealed U.S. Mail locks, miscellaneous tools, and duplicate keys.
Brennan was arrested and booked into Yolo County Jail. The following day, Property Evidence Technician Janelle and Community Service Officer Yana released the large amount of unopened mail to the U.S. Postal Service.
USPS advised they would be conducting their own investigation and distributing the recovered mail its rightful owners.
ADVICE OF THE DAY: If you notice suspicious activity in your neighborhood, please call our non-emergency line at 916-372-3375, and we will check it out!”
