Indictment issued in mail robbery case

A federal grand jury has returned a three-count indictment charging Damere Wilson, 20, of Toledo, with robbery of mail, money, or other property stealing mail collection box keys, and mail theft.
The violations allegedly took place while a postal service letter carrier was on a delivery route in the City of Oregon.
According to court documents, an individual approached the letter carrier on March 12, 2024, delivering mail at the Piccadilly Apartments.
The letter carrier indicated a hard object was shoved into their back and the individual demanded the keys to the mailboxes. Wilson’s vehicle was observed fleeing the scene of the robbery through information gathered via surveillance videos which resulted in the execution of a search warrant at a duplex on Maplewood Avenue in Toledo.
The postal key stolen from the letter carrier, as well as more than 200 checks totaling thousands of dollars, were recovered during a search warrant execution. More than 100 mail theft victims were identified from throughout northern Ohio.
The investigation preceding the indictment was conducted by the United States Postal Inspection Service (USPIS), and the Oregon Police Division.
