Gwinnett County police are searching for a man who allegedly stole mail from a U.S. Postal Service mailbox and fraudulently cashed a stolen check.

The man was seen on surveillance camera on Dec. 2 and Dec. 9 using a key to open a mailbox on S. Berkeley Lake Road in Duluth. The man took the contents of the mailbox — items which people placed inside to be mailed — and put them in his car, according to police. It also appeared there were white USPS boxes in his trunk, police said.
