A brutal thief was finally taken months after he was caught on video that had raided an American post -storage box in Brooklyn, the authorities said on Friday.
Ebrahima Bah, 20, was reportedly filmed with grabbing two white garbage bags filled with post from a USPS esestafettebox on Kingston Avenue and Carroll Street in Crown Heights around 12:20 pm 4, said officials and prosecutors.
He then left in a white sedan with records in New Jersey, driven by a complicit, according to the video, taken by a witness and released by the Jewish neighborhood guard group Crown Heights Shomrim.
Bah would have used a key to easily access the federal box, said judicial documents.
It is known that post -thieves steal keys from post carriers, sometimes at shot, or buy from crommelers, says sources.
Thieves often steal credit cards or checks – which can be washed o to rewrite the dollar amount – of stacked e -mail tires, according to the sources.
Bah was arrested on 28 March for the shameless robbery and is confronted with accusations of possession of burglar tools, Petit Larceny and criminal possession of stolen ownership, the criminal complaint said.
It seems that he was connected to the theft a day before after a non -related arrest, because he is said to have managed a Mercedes Benz with missing license plates, a tinted windshield and a suspended license on Regent Place in Flatbush, according to Court Docs.
Bah was released on his own recognition in both cases because the charges are not eligible, said the office of the public prosecutor in Brooklyn.
Such a postal robbery is a national problem, but Brooklyn and Queens are the biggest goals in the Big Apple, says sources.
“With the help of the public, post inspectors of the New York Division were able to send a solid message to others that crimes against the American post will never be tolerated,” said Postal Inspection Service Acting Inspector, Ed Gallashaw, in a statement.
“We also thank the NYPD in our continuous mission to put postal and related financial crimes that endanger the postal system of our country and our communities.”
