Mail thief caught in LFP with her hand in the mail box

Over the weekend an alert Lake Forest Park police officer arrested a suspected mail thief after a short foot pursuit.

As the officer came around a corner shortly after midnight he spotted a female suspect with her hand in a mailbox. The suspect attempted to flee on foot but was quickly apprehended and questioned.

It was determined that the suspect not only had stolen unopened mail from multiple addresses in Seattle but had warrants for her arrest.
