AUGUSTA, Ga. () – Two Richmond County men were sentenced to federal prison after pleading guilty in May 2025 for using a United States Postal Service key to steal mail, commit bank fraud, and aggravated identity theft.   

Cameron Martinas Curry, 22, and Quavaun Enreco Rhodes, 22, both of Augusta, were sentenced to 120 months in prison, respectively, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.

Curry and Rhodes have been ordered to pay a $2,000 fine, $400 in special assessments, and to serve five years of supervised release upon completion of their prison terms.

According to court documents at the sentencing, Curry and Rhodes obtained a U.S. Postal Service collection key and used it to steal mail from collection boxes in the Augusta area. They reportedly deposited altered business checks into bank accounts and withdrew the money before the banks realized the checks were fraudulent.

“Stealing from the U.S. Mail and defrauding financial institutions are serious crimes that erode public trust,” said Paul Brown, Special Agent in Charge of FBI Atlanta. “The FBI and our partners will continue to investigate and hold accountable those who abuse federal systems and victimize our communities for personal gain.”

Curry and Rhodes are among five people who plead guilty in May 2025 to various crimes involving stolen mail, bank fraud and aggravated identity.
