Mail Thieves Strike Again: Local Man Caught Stealing Packages
A Kenner man has been sentenced for his role in a brazen mail theft scheme that left residents across the United States reeling. Arthur Respert, 26, pleaded guilty to one-count of theft of mail and was sentenced to two years of probation by U.S. District Judge Jane Triche Milazzo.
According to court documents, Respert worked at the Armstrong International Airport for Air General, Inc. between October 24, 2014 and September 3, 2015. During this time, he stole letters and other packages addressed to individuals across the country.
The investigation into Respert’s crimes was led by the United States Postal Service, Office of Inspector General. Acting U.S. Attorney Duane A. Evans praised their work, saying it was instrumental in bringing Respert to justice.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Sharan E. Lieberman is in charge of the prosecution and will be handling a hearing on restitution on May 11, 2017 at 9:30 a.m. The full extent of the restitution is still to be determined.
Respect for the law and the people it serves is essential in any community. When individuals like Respert choose to disregard these principles and engage in criminal activity, they must be held accountable. We will continue to work tirelessly to ensure that justice is served in cases like these.
The residents of Kenner and surrounding areas can rest a little easier knowing that Respert is facing the consequences of his actions. This case serves as a reminder that mail theft is a serious crime with real consequences. We urge anyone with information about similar crimes to come forward and help us bring the perpetrators to justice.
