The story went out of it’s way to omit her name.....I can only imagine.
13whamtv.com——Rochester, N.Y. — A mail carrier is now awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty to stealing mail over the course of nearly two years.
Investigators said Marlene Cruz, 40, of Rochester, who worked as a full-time mail carrier for the U.S. Postal Service, routinely opened envelopes and parcels between January 2022 and November 2023 — removing items including ticket stubs, documents, cash, lottery tickets and gift cards on dozens of occasions.
Cruz’s arrest, at the end of her shift Nov. 2, followed a series of “mail integrity tests” that began in May. Investigators placed greeting cards containing cash and gift cards in the mail she was to deliver. While executing a search warrant, they recovered a gift card from her personal duffle bag and detained her.
The investigation followed a series of complaints from individuals who said their mail had been been tampered with in late 2021.
Cruz pleaded guilty to theft of mail matter by officer or employee. The charge carries up five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Sentencing is scheduled for May 9.

Cruz was committing hate crimes against US citizens everytime she stole from their mail.
