Galveston, TX – U.S. Rep. Randy Weber (TX-14) met with the United States Postal Service (USPS) District Manager David Camp and U.S. Postal Inspection Service Inspector-in-Charge Scott Fix to discuss postal theft in Galveston County. The postal officials detailed their work with the local authorities and federal agents across the Houston Region, including their procedures for securing the blue drop boxes and other security/inspection operations they are conducting to catch thieves.

“The ongoing postal theft in Galveston County continues to be a top priority for me to address the concerns and provide transparency to my constituents,” said Rep. Weber. “Yesterday, I heard directly from postal officials that—as the thieves have become more organized—the U.S. Postal Inspection Service has had to change their methods to combat this evolving threat.”

“I also spoke with local law enforcement, and I was encouraged to learn that these postal agencies have been proactive in working with the police department to combat postal theft in Galveston County,” Rep. Weber continued. “It was reassuring to hear that, so far this year, postal theft numbers are down significantly. That being said, we must continue our vigilance against this vexatious crime. I depend on my neighbors in Galveston County and throughout TX-14 to keep me apprised of further incidents of postal theft.”

If you have been the victim of postal theft, please contact our office, the local police, or the Postal Inspection Service to report the crime.
