Federal investigators say a large-scale operation in Houston targeting illegal game rooms uncovered stolen mail, counterfeit postal keys, checks, and other evidence tied to mail theft and identity fraud investigations.

US Postal Inspectors are working to find the people responsible for dumping two bins of stolen mail in a townhome complex dumpster. However, an employee from the Guess Law Firm collected some of the legal documents prior to the postal employee arriving. Inspectors have reviewed surveillance images of two suspects dumping stolen mail into a dumpster at that location. Customers can place their mail into the mail slot inside the lobby of their local post office.
