YONKERS – Three Bronx men are under arrested following an undercover
surveillance operation by Yonkers Police on Thursday. They were caught
in the area of 490 South Broadway trying to fish mail from a US Postal
Service mailbox and a relay mailbox.
Police and postal inspectors are investigating to determine if the same
three men are responsible for a series of prior incidents of mail theft.
Those arrested on Thursday were Edgardo Rodriguez, 25, Max Enrique Anparo,
26, and Luis Felipe Cruz-Valerio, 21, all of the Bronx.
They were caught loitering near the mailboxes and officers observed them
tampering with them, trying to pry open the doors and engaged in “fishing”
behavior, attempting to pull mail out through the deposit slot.
All three were taken into custody and found in possession of stolen and
unauthorized checks as well as items used to fish mail.
They were each charged with criminal possession of stolen property and
criminal mischief, both as felonies.
