United States Post Service officials are investigating after outdoor mail collection boxes at six post offices in the Richmond region – including three in Henrico and one near the Henrico-Richmond border – were broken into sometime between Saturday afternoon and this morning.

The blue metal collection boxes at the Glen Allen (Innsbrook), Lakeside and Regency locations in Henrico and the Westhampton location near Willow Lawn, just across the county line in Richmond, were tampered with and pried open, according to United States Postal Inspector Michael Romano. Officials don’t know how much mail might have been taken from the various locations.

Postal Service officials began receiving calls from the post office employees this morning at about 7 a.m., Romano said.

At the Innsbrook site, officials quickly placed crime tape around the boxes and USPS plastic boxes over the deposit areas while awaiting repairs that Romano said should be completed today.
