Carrier helps police catch burglars<\/h2>\n

June 18, 2014 –<\/p>\n

Euclid, OH, Letter Carrier Linda Spencer was on her route when she noticed two young men kept appearing on the streets where she was delivering.<\/p>\n

\u201cI saw them walking up a hill and then nearly ran into one of them coming from behind a house. The next thing I knew, they were both at the front door of another house,\u201d Spencer said. \"1aa-USPS-small\"<\/a><\/p>\n

She called her supervisor, who immediately called the police. When officers entered the house where Spencer last noticed the young men, they discovered it had been burglarized.<\/p>\n

The thieves were caught when the police found them pushing a large recycling bin containing a stolen flat-screen television.<\/p>\n

Coincidentally, the burglarized home and stolen television belong to Dolores King, a 30-year postal employee who works as a parcel post distribution-machine clerk at the Cleveland Processing and Distribution Center. \u201cYou hear about stuff like this happening, but you never think it\u2019s going to be you. I really appreciate what Linda did,\u201d King said.<\/p>\n

Said Spencer: \u201cI wasn\u2019t afraid of reporting those thieves. It broke my heart to think about hard-working people coming home and feeling violated. Being the eyes and ears of the community is just the right thing to do.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
