Four arrests have been made after a rash of mail thefts in Staunton.

Staunton police arrested Hillary Reed, April Renee Brown, Dion Saunders and Melissa Nofflet for allegedly taking mail from people's mailboxes and looking for cash, checks and personal information.

The charges against the suspects range from petit larceny to obtaining money by false pretense.

Police say several tips, combined with some diligent leg-work Sunday night, led to Monday morning's arrests.

"It was basically all night long, the entire shift put all the effort in. I'm just finishing up now this morning at 11 o'clock, so it was a team effort. We were able to put everything together, and it came together fine," says Officer Jeremy Campbell of the Staunton Police Department.

Campbell says, when police made the arrests, the suspects were surprised that police were able to identify them.

During a search of Nofflet's residence on Ridge Road, police found several of the stolen letters and even identified more Staunton residents who may not know they were victims.

"It's probably still out there now that people don't even know that their mail was stolen, and they need to come forward now so we can continue with charges," says Campbell.

Police are still identifying more victims and are asking Staunton residents to check bank statements and make sure that service providers received payments.

Right now, the suspects are only facing state charges, but police say the evidence will be given to federal prosecutors as well.

Stealing mail is a federal offense.
