Video: Kansas couple catches suspects stealing mail in broad daylight

WICHITA, Kan. – 12/03/16 – Two suspects are arrested after police say a couple caught them stealing mail out of people’s mailboxes, in broad daylight.

Wichita police say the suspects stole mail from at least thirteen different victims.

They say in crimes like mail theft, suspects are usually looking for your information — then they can apply for credit cards in your name and rack up charges, you don’t even know exist. But one couple saved their neighbors from having to go through an ordeal like that…

Jill Taylor and her fiance live near W. Maple and S. Maize and says she and her fiance were in their backyard Friday afternoon when they saw something unusual for their quiet neighborhood.

“Of the corner of my eye I noticed there was odd car driving through the neighborhood,” she said. “That’s kind of what clued me in right away – that was a car I’d never seen before,” Taylor said.

She says they saw the car stop at one neighbor’s mailbox, then another. That’s when they knew a crime was happening. More
