The residential mailboxes were located in the eastern portion of the city with a majority along Bushaway Road and Central Avenue South.
According to police, several of the mailboxes were locked and were forced open.
The police department states that this is a crime that can additionally facilitate identity theft, credit and check fraud, and other forgery and fraud type crimes.
This is a metro area issue and is not exclusive to Wayzata.
