Zyeama Johnson, Burglary of a Post Office, New Jersey 2023

A brazen and seasoned thief has been brought to justice in Hudson County, New Jersey, after breaking into two U.S. Post Offices on six separate occasions.

Zyeama Johnson, 29, of Jersey City, New Jersey, was arrested and charged with six counts of burglary of a post office after allegedly stealing mail from the post offices and loading it into her vehicle.

According to the complaint, Johnson broke into a post office in Hudson County on January 10, January 13, January 21, January 26, and February 3, 2023, stealing mail each time. On February 7, 2023, she broke into a second post office location and was caught by law enforcement as she left the building.

Johnson’s alleged crimes come as no surprise, given her history as a former employee of the post office, from which she was terminated. The motive behind her actions remains unclear, but one thing is certain – she will face the full weight of the law.

Johnson appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Cathy Waldor in Newark federal court and was released on $100,000 unsecured bond. Each count of burglary carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.

The investigation into Johnson’s alleged crimes was a collaborative effort between the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, the U.S. Postal Service, Office of the Inspector General, and the Jersey City Police Department.

The charges and allegations contained in the complaint are merely accusations, and Johnson is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Chana Zuckier will represent the government in this case.
