CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - Charlotte-Mecklenburg police say they have arrested a woman after investigators found almost 500 pieces of stolen mail in her car.
The Charlotte Observer reports (https://bit.ly/2kIQvFq) police found the mail in the car of 40-year-old Lisa Swinson, who was arrested on Tuesday and charged in connection with several car and house break-ins.
According to police, the mail was addressed to 75 to 100 people and included about 60 tax-related documents from 2016 year-end, including W2s, 10-99s and 10-98s. Police also found several credit cards and bank-issued checks.
A statement from police said investigators believe most of the victims didn’t know that they had been a victim of mail theft.
Swinson is facing a number of charges. Online records don’t indicate whether she has an attorney.
