From the Belton Police Department

As many of you know, the IRS has begun depositing stimulus money in our accounts which means the checks in the mail aren't far behind. Now, we are seeing a rise in the cases of people going from mailbox to mailbox to steal mail. 

Two of the biggest things you can do to protect yourself - 1 get your mail as soon as possible once it's delivered. If you can't be there, maybe a trusted neighbor could help you out. 2 - Pay attention in your neighborhoods.

Call us when you see something out of place. There's always someone looking to take advantage of others. Let's stick together on this issue too.
