Federal investigators are searching for a suspect involved in an Orem mail theft case, as authorities continue to monitor activities near local postal facilities like the Mountain Shadows Post Office.
The Mountain Shadows Post Office, located at 877 E 1200 S in Orem, maintains standard operating hours for Monday through Friday, though the facility does not offer passport or financial services.
Under 18 U.S. Code § 1708, anyone who steals, takes, or abstracts mail from a post office, letter box, or mail route faces federal prosecution. The law also prohibits the purchase, receipt, or concealment of stolen mail matter if the individual knows the items were stolen. Violations of this statute can result in fines and imprisonment for up to five years.
