Former USPS worker charged with mail theft in Norfolk

NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) – A former US Postal Service worker has recently been charged with felony theft of mail while on her route in Norfolk.

According to court documents, the defendant, 32-year-old Kiesha Brown, knowingly committed mail theft and check fraud on several occasions between June of 2023 and February of 2024 in an attempt to “support her daughter and her drug habit.”

In June of 2023, a victim, referred to as “M.W.” in the court documents, reported that around 16 checks for their business had been stolen from the mail. M.W.’s businesses was found to be along Brown’s postal route at the time.

On one such occasion, M.W. reported that a check written in the amount of $146.64, which never reached the intended recipient, ended up being deposited into a bank in the amount of $4,890.02. M.W. claimed the check was altered in an attempt to defraud the business.

Several other customers along Brown’s postal route reported similar check frauds, leading to an investigation from the Office of Inspector General (OIG).

In February of 2024, agents used undercover cameras in Brown’s postal vehicle, where they then caught her using drugs and rummaging through and stealing mail. When agents interviewed Brown, they said she pulled out 29 pieces of mail from her jacket.

As a result, Brown was charged with three counts of felony theft of mail matter. On Dec. 17, 2024 Brown pleaded guilty to her charges.

Brown is scheduled to be sentenced on April 23, 2025.
