By Brad Matthews - The Washington Times - Friday, May 1, 2026
Federal prosecutors have indicted four Atlanta-area women, two of whom are former U.S. Postal Service mail carriers, with charges related to an alleged $4.9 mail theft scheme.
The Justice Department alleged Thursday that between March 2020 and September 2025, Shanda Goode, 57, at the time a worker at a post office in Atlanta, and Carnisha Hamilton, 42, then a worker at a post office in Marietta, Georgia, stole mail containing checks, credit cards and other valuable items.
Ms. Goode and Ms. Hamilton are accused of selling the stolen goods to Francina Sutton, 46, who was previously convicted on forgery, identity theft and other theft charges. Sutton, prosecutors said, used the credit cards and other items and cashed checks stolen from the mail.
