Long Beach has been plagued by a string of mailbox burglaries, but relief comes as detectives slapped cuffs on two suspects allegedly connected to the string of thefts, the Long Beach Police Department has announced. The wave of pilfering, stretching across multiple downtown locations from August 2023 to March 2024, saw thieves abusing a USPS key to raid apartment mailboxes, apparently selecting their targets with a seeming preference for areas along The Promenade North and West and East Broadway.
