Thieves have targeted community mailboxes in Lumby. 

Lumby residents say that in the past several days, three separate community mailboxes, along Highway 6, by Rawlings Lake Road and on Albers Road, have been hit by thieves.

The boxes near Rawlings Lake were hit on Christmas Eve and the boxes near Highway 6 appear to have been broken into Tuesday night.

The post office is now holding all mail from these boxes until they are repaired.

If your community mailbox has been hit by thieves, Canada Post says to call them and report the break-in. Canada Post will empty the boxes and hold the mail until they can be fixed.
