Several mailboxes were damaged and mail tampered with in Belle Prairie Township, east of Little Falls over the weekend.
Following these reports to the Morrison County Sheriff’s Office, the Sheriff’s Office is asking residents to be alert.
The Morrison County Sheriff’s Office is asking residents to be alert for any unusual activity occurring around mailboxes. If someone notices anything suspicious, they are asked to contact the sheriff’s office immediately.
Sheriff Shawn Larsen would like to remind residents of ways to protect against mail theft:
• Mail your letters at the post office or hand them to a letter carrier rather than placing them in your mailbox;
• Pick your mail up promptly after delivery. Don’t leave it in your mailbox overnight; and
• Never send cash in the mail;
• Tell your post office when you will be out of town so they can hold your mail until you return.
