RANCHO CORDOVA—A man impersonating a delivery worker to steal packages and mail has been arrested following a coordinated investigation by the Rancho Cordova Police Department and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service.
The case began when RCPD patrol officers received a call reporting a male suspect wearing a FedEx shirt breaking into a U.S. Postal Service vehicle and stealing several packages, mail items, and personal belongings of a postal carrier.
Using investigative tools, authorities obtained a photo of the suspect and his vehicle, which led to a rapid response from RCPD’s Problem Oriented Policing (POP) team.
Working closely with federal postal inspectors, officers tracked the suspect to a motel in Sacramento. When contacted in his motel room, the man was found to be on active Post Release Community Supervision (PRCS), a form of parole, and had two outstanding felony warrants for identity theft along with an additional warrant for burglary from another county.
A search of the motel room revealed a trove of evidence: stolen mail, burglary tools, check-making equipment, false identification, fraudulent documents, narcotics, drug paraphernalia, and articles of clothing branded with logos from Amazon, UPS, and FedEx—indicating a broader pattern of impersonation.
The suspect was arrested and booked at the Sacramento County Main Jail on multiple charges, including burglary, possession of stolen property, identity theft, possession of burglary tools, drug-related offenses, and possession of fraudulent identification with the intent to defraud. Authorities have not released the name of the suspect at this time as the investigation continues.
“This arrest highlights the ongoing commitment of the RCPD and our federal partners to protect the integrity of the postal system and our community,” the department said in a statement.
