Federal authorities investigating a series of armed robberies in Dallas are offering rewards of up to $150,000 for information leading to the apprehension and conviction of the suspects involved in each incident.
The U.S. Postal Inspection Service has documented three distinct occurrences across the city in recent months.
“We won’t rest until we find those individuals responsible,” stated U.S. Postal Inspector Sean Smith.
The most recent incident occurred on Jan. 29 around 4:15 p.m. at the Oaks of North Dallas on Haverwood Lane. The apartment complex has been labeled a habitual crime property, as indicated by a sign outside the leasing office.
The mail carrier was reportedly approached by a suspect described as a Black male, approximately 5’10” tall, in his early 20s, wearing a black hoodie, red shorts with a black and white stripe, black socks, and white shoes.
While Smith cannot disclose the exact details of the incident, he confirmed that the carrier was unharmed.
The agency is also investigating two previous armed robberies.
In the most recent incident on Jan. 12 at the Sophia Apartments on Hudnall Street, a suspect wearing a full-face mask and a letterman jacket with white sleeves and navy blue lettering held up a mail carrier. This suspect is described as approximately 5’10” tall, in his teens or early 20s. The federal employee in this case was unharmed as well.
On Dec. 28, two men allegedly held up a letter carrier at 3525 Colonial Avenue in Dallas around 11:25 a.m. The suspects in this case were wearing masks, and there is only a vague description available.
No injuries were reported in the Dec. 28 incident.
