Law enforcement agencies across Central Virginia have been dealing with armed robberies of postal carriers in recent months. However, most of the time, the robbers have not asked for money or mail.

The latest robbery happened last Wednesday in Glen Allen after three young men robbed a mail carrier in broad daylight, Crime Insider sources told Jon Burkett.

Henrico Police reported the robbery call came in around 3:30 p.m. in the 2700 block of Park Green Way in Glen Allen.

Three unknown young men approached the mail carrier at gunpoint, according to police. Sources said the trio demanded the keys to mailboxes at nearby apartment complexes. The mail carrier gave them the keys and he was not hurt, according to those sources.
