BROOKFIELD — The Office of the U.S. Postal Service’s Inspector General is investigating allegations of theft inside the post office in Brookfield.
Jeff Arney, assistant special agent in charge, said the allegations surfaced in “late fall.”
Arney said he couldn’t disclose how many packages were targeted and/or tampered with, and didn’t specify how many employees are under investigation.
But he said the suspects have been placed on unpaid leave.
Arney said the alleged thefts occurred in the portion of the Brookfield facility known as the Computerized Forwarding System (CFS), which is where the USPS processes mail being forwarded to people who have moved and changed addresses. More at WTMJ-TV Milwaukee
