Police in New Orleans have arrested a man they say pointed a gun at a USPS postal carrier and stole the master keys to USPS mailboxes.
According to police, Jammal Craft, 21, robbed a mail carrier delivering a package in the 1600 block of Pratt Drive in Gentilly on Feb.28. Investigators say Craft and another gunman stole the master keys from the postal carrier. The master keys are used to open blue USPS mailboxes.
“Through investigation, NOPD Third District detectives developed and positively identified Craft as one of the perpetrators in this incident, and a warrant was obtained for his arrest on a charge of armed robbery. With the assistance of the NOPD’s Special Operations Division and Violent Crime Abatement Investigation Team and USPS inspectors, Craft was arrested on March 10 and booked him accordingly into the Orleans Parish Justice Center,” says an NOPD report.
