Tuckahoe residents claim checks stolen from area mailboxes

Investigators say multiple residents in Tuckahoe are reporting falling victim to a mailbox fishing scam over the past few weeks.
Residents say checks they dropped into mailboxes have been cashed by scammers.
Police say they have opened an investigation, but cannot confirm any of the reports just yet.
Residents say mail was taken after being dropped off at mailboxes located on Depot Square, Cameron Place and Main Street. They say mail was also taken from the mailbox directly in front of the Tuckahoe Post Office.
