One of the defendants, a former local area president of the Mail Handlers Union, is accused of stealing 166 cellphones from the mail and trying to exchange an unknown number of the items online. Jarol Garcia, 33, has been charged with conspiracy and possession of stolen mail, the release stated.
The crimes are alleged to have occurred when Garcia worked as a mail handler at the Moreno Valley Delivery Distribution Center.
One female postal carrier from the Sawtelle District of Los Angeles, 48-year-old Sherry Naomi Watanabe, allegedly was found to have 48,000 pieces of mail at her home that were supposed to be delivered to customers along her Placentia route, the release said, citing a plea agreement.
In another case, a mail carrier from the Mid-City District was accused of being part of a conspiracy to steal identities to order pre-paid PayPal debit cards. Norman A. Muschamp, 48, allegedly obtained the debit cards from the mail, then delivered them for cash to co-conspirators, according to the Justice Department.
The scheme is believed to have resulted in the loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Muschamp was charged with conspiracy to commit access device fraud and steal mail.
