Pair Stole Nearly $700K In Checks Out Of Passaic Co. USPS Boxes, Officials Say

Two men have pleaded guilty to stealing nearly $700,000 in checks from USPS collection boxes in Livingston and Clifton between 2021 and 2022, using stolen keys to access the boxes. Leslie Blackwood and Verly Antenor would sometimes alter the checks to inflate the amounts before depositing or selling them, and each now faces up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
