WILTON — Police say a check was taken from mail left overnight in a Wilton resident’s mailbox.
Other mail was opened and left but the check was taken, Wilton officer Billie Martin said. The resident reported the loss Tuesday morning.
This is the second recent and random incident of mail being opened and left, she said. The incidents occurred at different sites in town, one on Main Street and another on Village View.
As it is a federal offense to tamper with mail, the department is contacting the FBI, she said.
She advises residents to be sure to bring mail in before night.
