POLICE LOG: Protect Yourself From Mail Theft

Here's a reminder to be wary of mail and identity theft:

An Alhambra Avenue resident reported to Martinez Police the theft of a FedEx package Saturday. The package was valued at $250.

Postal officials offer these suggestions to protect your mail:

•  When your mail is delivered try and take your mail inside as soon as possible.
• Install locking mail boxes if possible.
• Report any suspicious persons loitering around or subjects who are suspiciously unfamiliar to you to the area.
• Get good descriptions of suspicious and loitering persons.
• Consider “going green”, and not having documents and personal information sent to your mailbox.
