ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — It’s been a busy year for postal carriers with deliveries on the rise. More than 600,000 employees delivered 130 billion pieces of mail in 2020, with 20 million a day in December.
But over the past few months, armed robberies have been on the rise.
“This is specific to Albuquerque right now, this isn’t really a trend nationwide,” Postal Inspector Brook Robinson said.
“We’re asking the public to keep an eye out, if you see something, say something, call 911, be a good witness,” Robinson said.
Right now, they’re investigating eight cases, including one just last week. The first reported incident happened in mid-October along Coors Boulevard NW. More at KOB 4
