OKEECHOBEE -- In recent weeks there have been several burglaries to the United States Postal Service (USPS) blue satellite postal boxes.

As noted in the Okeechobee News, the Okeechobee City Police Department (OCPD) and Okeechobee County Sheriff’s Office (OCSO) are actively investigating those cases.

Blue postal boxes have been targeted at the following locations: SunTrust parking lot, the old Okeechobee County Courthouse, and the west side of the Post Office building near Southeast 10th Avenue.
