"Postal Worker Arrested in $24 Million Stolen Check Scheme"
A U.S. Postal Service worker, Nakedra Shannon, and two others have been charged in a scheme where $24 million worth of checks were stolen from the mail and sold online through a Telegram channel. Shannon, who worked at a processing center in Charlotte, stole the checks from April to July of this year. The co-conspirators, Donnell Gardner and Desiray Carter, were also charged. Carter ran the Telegram channel where the checks were advertised, and Gardner facilitated the transactions. Undercover officers posed as buyers, leading to the arrests. The trio made "hundreds of thousands of dollars" from the illegal enterprise. They are facing charges of conspiracy, theft, and possession of stolen mail.
