WASHINGTON – Hudson Valley area members of Congress have asked Postmaster General Megan Brennan to address theft of mail across the Hudson Valley.
In a letter to Brennan, House Members Nita Lowey (D, NY-17), Elliot Engel (NY-16) and Sean Patrick Maloney (NY-18) and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, noted incidents of stolen mail that resulted in financial fraud and identity theft, from missing payments to emptied bank accounts after thieves “wash” checks pulled from collection boxes.
The lawmakers noted the thefts have been reported in Westchester and Rockland counties as well as other locations across the Hudson Valley.
