Massive bags of mail mysteriously dumped in Southern California ? and one dump was caught on camera
An investigation was launched last week after massive bags of unopened United States Postal Service mail and packages were discovered at two separate locations in Southern California.
What happened?
In the first incident last Thursday morning, police received a phone call alerting them that "possible stolen mail or whatever was dumped in an alleyway," Glendale Police Sgt. Christian Hauptmann told the Los Angeles Times. Several hours later, police received a second phone call about more dumped mail.
Fortunately, the second incident was captured on surveillance cameras.
The footage, shared with KTLA-TV, shows a rental truck backing into the parking lot of a medical salon. A man then exits the truck and tosses large bags of mail and packages from inside the truck onto the ground.
"It happened early in the morning, 5:40, and it was a Budget rental ? big truck ? that backed up to the parking lot. And they're like, slowly, one by one, they're dropping the packages," Lilia Serobian, one of the medical salon's owners, told KTLA.
She said the truck left a "huge pile" of mail and that the truck was not connected to the USPS.
