A man with active warrants was arrested after allegedly stealing more than 200 mail items and damaging several mailboxes, according to the San Antonio Police Department.

San Antonio police made a significant arrest in connection with mail theft, just in time for the launch of a campaign aimed at cracking down on that type of crime.

HPD said all residents who live within 40 miles of Hondo or have been enrolled at the Texas Vocational School in Victoria should check their credit history for signs of fraud.

While junk mail and political ads may be overlooked, the missing mail raises concerns about identity theft, fraud and stolen funds.

The headaches associated with being a victim of a mailbox theft has some considering renting a post office box, or PO box.

At least six people suspected of stealing mail in the San Antonio area have found themselves delivered to the Bexar County jail.
