A POSTAL worker is going to jail and facing numerous felony charges after stealing critical documents from the mail.

Homeowners living on the route mail carrier Bianca Wheat worked noticed they were missing several important pieces of mail. 

The owners claimed that Wheat was taking credit cards sent via USPS and used them, robbing thousands of dollars from the families. 

Law enforcement suspects that the Georgia woman corroborated with others to help steal credit cards from the individuals, ABC affiliate WSB reported.

“This not only was an inside job, but there’s people outside as well,” an alleged anonymous victim told WSB. 

“Since they haven’t caught them yet, I don’t want anybody to know who I am.”

The anonymous source said she was told by her credit card company that her card had arrived, but she never received it.

“I looked at my email, and it said you’ve got your card,” the victim said. 

“And I was sitting here working and looking out the window, and I saw the postal person drop my mail about five minutes later.”

Shortly after opening the email, she got a notification saying she spent over her $7,000 credit card limit.

“I called Capital One,” she told the Atlanta news outlet. 

“They said the card was used and activated, which concerned me anyway because I said, ‘How was it activated if I never got it?’”

The issue repeated itself when the woman ordered a new replacement credit card.

Investigators confirmed that the card was loaded onto Paypal, and the money was sent to a separate account. 

Another person in the Acworth community Wheat worked in suffered the same issue as their neighbor. 

“We didn’t really become aware that this was something major going on until my neighbors said stuff as well,” the victim said.

“And we said, ‘OK, it’s time to take action.’”

The U.S. Sun reached out to the USPS for comment but did not immediately receive a response.

DELIVERY DELAYS 

The United States Postal Service has been under fire recently for weeks-long delivery delays. 

In Indiana, lawmakers are now demanding answers from the postal service over why citizens’ packages are being delayed for weeks on end. 

Small business owners and citizens claim that the USPS ignores their complaints; leading politicians to file a bipartisan letter with the Postmaster General.

“The local management team is committed to ensuring ongoing processing of mail and packages at the Indianapolis Regional Processing Center and is constantly monitoring all processing operations,” USPS said in response to the letter.

“The Postal Service understands the importance of every single package and letter mailed by our customers.”
