Video: Investigation begins after East Texas mail theft caught on camera

TYLER, TX (KLTV) –

Postal inspectors are investigating mail theft in an East Texas city after a man caught someone on camera stealing his mail.

The theft happened December 31 in the 4700 block of Inverness Drive in Tyler.

Michael Sturrock, who caught the alleged mail thief on video, took us through the video and his push for people to keep an eye out on the contents of their mailboxes.

“She slowly drove up reached into the mailbox and it was almost surreal to watch this lady take the mail and just speed off,” says Sturrock.

It’s a crime that some people may not think about.

“I ran outside; my wife was like ‘what’s going on?’ I said ‘someone just took our mail!’,” Sturrock.

Michael Sturrock says the video is surprising because of just how bold it was.

“Just how casual she was, she just rolled up, took it out like it was her own mail and took off right in the middle of the day,” says Sturrock. Read more
