'Huge pile': Surveillance video captures rental truck dumping bags of mail in California parking lot
Bags of mail were found discarded in a California parking lot, according to surveillance video.
“It happened early in the morning, 5:40, and it was a Budget rental, big truck, that backed up to the parking lot. And they’re like, slowly, one by one, they’re dropping the packages,” said Lilia Serobian, who saw the mail being dumped near a spa she owns.
Local outlet KTLA reported that piles of mail were discovered in two locations in Glendale last week, which included unopened letters and boxes.
Surveillance video from near Serobian’s spa caught a rental truck dumping the mail, and she described what the perpetrators left as a “huge pile.” KTLA reported that all of the mail was from the United States Postal Service.
Police reported that more mail was discovered in an alley less than a mile away from the spa.
The report comes as some worry about mail-in ballots ahead of November’s election, as well as the Postal Service seeing mail delays in California.
Democrats have pushed for mail-in ballots to be utilized this election, citing coronavirus fears. President Trump, however, has said that voting by mail is open to corruption and a delay in the final tally.
“If you do universal mail-ins with millions and millions of ballots, you are never going to know what the real result of an election is,” Trump said this summer. “It's going to be a very, very sad day for our country."
Police in California are currently looking into what post office the mail came from and who rented the truck captured on video.
