The attempted robbery of a letter carrier Saturday in Arlington Heights matches the pattern of similar incidents in Chicago, ArlHtsPOLICE said Monday
The letter carrier was in his delivery truck near the intersection of Campbell Street and Dwyer Avenue when he was targeted, police said.
Arlington Heights police referred additional comment to the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, which is taking the lead on the investigation. Officials there didn't immediately provide additional details Monday. Arlington Heights police declined to provide a description of any suspects or say if a weapon was used or implied, citing the pending federal investigation, but they did confirm there were no injuries during the attempted robbery.On Saturday, Chicago police released a community alert about a dozen armed robberies of letter carriers between March 7 and April 5, mostly on the city's West Side.
The postal inspection service last week also put out a wanted poster offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of two suspects who robbed a letter carrier in January on South Francisco Avenue in Chicago.
