A very important message from our UCPD: Tips to make sure your mailed checks are not removed from post office boxes:

The Upper Chichester Police Department are investigating reports that personal checks have been removed from Post Office mailboxes throughout the Township.

According to postal authorities, a group, or groups, have been able to duplicate the master mailbox key to access the content of the boxes.

Here are some tips to avoid being a victim:
