Postal worker sentenced to prison for stealing mail from Sandston USPS facility

A postal worker is going to prison after stealing mail, including gift cards, from a U.S. Postal Service facility in Sandston.

According to Henrico County Commonwealth's Attorney Shannon Taylor, Zandra Allen worked at the USPS facility in Sandston when investigators tracked a $50 gift card missing from Ohio to her account.

Agents with the Postal Service Office of the Inspector General then interviewed her. She initially denied taking anything before they told her they would be searching her belongings in accordance with a federal regulation stating that most personal property is subject to search while on postal property.

She then said, "You got me," according to Taylor.
