San Bruno, South San Francisco residents urged to check accounts after post office burglary

By Tim Fang

Authorities on the Peninsula and U.S. postal inspectors are urging residents to monitor their financial accounts, following a burglary at a post office.

On Tuesday, San Bruno police issued an advisory saying that the U.S. Postal Inspection Service is investigating a burglary at the San Bruno Post Office on 1300 Huntington Avenue. Authorities did not say when the burglary took place or what was stolen.

Police said recent visitors to the San Bruno office or who may have deposited mail into a collection box served by the office could be affected, including those who used collection boxes in neighboring South San Francisco.

Residents in both communities are urged to monitor their bank and credit card accounts, along with their financial statements, for any unauthorized activity.

Anyone who suspects their mail has not arrived or who may believe their mail was compromised is urged to contact the U.S. Postal Inspection Service at https://mailtheft.uspis.gov. 

Reports should reference U.S. Postal Inspection Service case #4750763-ROBB.
