4 charged in mail thefts in southern Ohio

LOGAN, Ohio (AP) — Four people have been arrested in the investigation into mail thefts from homes in southern Ohio.

Hocking County Sheriff Lanny North says the three men and a woman were taken into custody Tuesday near the community of Rockbridge. He says a search of a vehicle recovered several pieces of stolen mail.

Detectives believe the suspects are connected to a recent rash of thefts from mailboxes in Hocking County and neighboring Fairfield County.

North says the three men, ranging in age from 28 to 40, have been charged with breaking and entering. He says the 23-year-old woman was arrested on a warrant for a probation violation.
