Mail Thieves Get Themselves Busted

The Placer County Sheriff’s Office has arrested three people for mail theft in Loomis, after they called 911 for help getting their car started. The suspects had lost their keys and could not start their car to leave. The first deputy to respond found a large pile of mail – belonging to other people – on the seats and floorboards of the car, which was parked next to a pried-open mailbox.  40-year-old Marvin Lyles of Oakland, and Jeromeia Franklin and Mesha Cooper, both 37 from Sacramento, were arrested and charged with felony mail theft.
