$50,000 reward offered after letter carrier robbed at gunpoint

The U.S. Postal Inspection Service is looking for the person who robbed a mail carrier at gunpoint in Aurora last month.

AURORA, Colo. — The U.S. Postal Inspection Service (USPIS) is offering a $50,000 reward for information on the armed robbery of a letter carrier in Aurora last month. 

USPIS said in a tweet Friday that it happened around 7 p.m. on Wednesday, February 22 near 1720 Chester Street.

Mail and U.S. Postal Service property were stolen, according to a USPIS spokesperson, but it's not clear what that property was. 

The letter carrier was not hurt. 

The suspect is described as a light-skinned Black male with a medium build, about 5 feet 8 inches tall, with short hair and no facial hair. He was last seen wearing a black coat with a red hooded sweatshirt underneath, and possibly green shorts.

Anyone who sees him should not try to apprehend him, USPIS said. 

If you have any information about the robbery, call USPIS at 877-876-2455 and say "Law Enforcement." The case number is 3978618. USPIS said all information will be kept confidential.
