POTENTIAL MAIL FISHING AT CROTON POST OFFICE

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton -- our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship---in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

Potential Mail Fishing at Croton-on-Hudson Post Office | Croton-on-Hudson NY

During the early hours of September 13, 2025, the Croton-on-Hudson Police Department was notified that two individuals were observed "fishing" mail out of the blue mailbox at the Croton-on-Hudson Post Office on Maple Street. The individuals fled in a vehicle and the case is currently under investigation by the Detective Division.

A "fishing" scheme is used by criminals to steal mail out of the mailbox to find checks, money or credit cards. Checks will often be "washed" and rewritten for large sums of money.

If you used the blue mailbox located outside the Post Office on September 12-13, especially by way of mailing a check or cash, please keep an eye out for any fraudulent activities.

Anyone with further information on this case should contact the Detective Division at 914-271-5177.
