Brentwood police recently arrested a 35-year-old man in connection to stolen mail, emphasizing the importance of safeguarding personal tax information. During tax season, identity thieves actively seek confidential documents. Police recommend residents utilize locked mailboxes, promptly retrieve mail, shred sensitive documents, and prefer certified mail for protected communication. Lt. Miguel Aguiar encourages vigilance against suspicious activity and warns against sharing personal information over phone calls, reiterating that legit authorities never request sensitive details this way. Residents are urged to report any irregularities to the IRS as a preventative measure against identity theft.
"Police warned the public about the need to protect their tax information and other mail following the arrest of a suspect with stolen documents."
"Especially during tax season, criminals are often looking for confidential information to steal someone’s identity, urging residents to be vigilant."
