WHITE PLAINS – A Mount Vernon resident has been indicted for allegedly stealing more than $78,000 in checks from the mail he was responsible for delivering as a letter carrier for the US Postal Service.
Westchester County District Attorney Miriam Rocah said Alberto Pino, 31, was charged with one count of grand larceny and two counts of petit larceny.
It is alleged that between January and March 2021, Pino was working as a mail carrier when he stole three US Treasury Department checks addressed for delivery to residents on his route in Mount Vernon. The checks were valued at over $77,000, $600, and $500.
Criminal investigators from the district attorney’s office arrested Pino on this past Wednesday, October 5 following a joint investigation by the DA’s office and Postal Service Office of Inspector General, with assistance from the US Postal Service Inspection Service.
