Deputies Investigating 'Huge' Increase In Mailbox Thefts In Cameron Park
CAMERON PARK (CBS13) – Authorities are asking residents in El Dorado County to be vigilant after a noted increase in mail theft recently.
The sheriff's office says, over the weekend, deputies have seen a huge increase in street-side mailboxes being hit by thieves.
