Theft from the mailboxes includes stolen personal and business checks, police said. Some checks have already been recovered; however some were washed or altered to steal funds from the victims.
"We are aware from surrounding law enforcement agencies that thieves are targeting outgoing mail as indicated by a raised flag on the mailbox," the Solebury Township Police Department said in a news release.
Police are urging residents to review their financial statements for any suspicious activity and contact the bank or cancel any checks that may have been stolen.
