Officials are offering a steep reward for information on the two suspects involved in a sizable mail heist at a Houston apartment complex last month.

The crime occurred at 5550 N. Braeswood Blvd. in the early morning hours of Aug. 9, 2024. Two men are seen on security footage breaking into multiple rows of tenant mailboxes and filling backpacks with stolen goods.

One suspect wore a white baseball cap, baggy white shirt, and shin-length jean shorts with white shoes. The other wore a dark baseball cap with a black shirt and dark grey joggers with black shoes.

Mail theft has become a serious issue at apartment complexes across the Houston area. Last month, KPRC 2′s Corley Peel reported on an affordable housing complex that had seen its mail ransacked three times in the span of one month.

The U.S. Postal Inspection Service announced that it was offering an award of up to $100,000 for information leading to the suspects being brought to justice. Those with information about the crime are encouraged to contact the USPIS at 1-877-876-2455.
