Tyler Savinon, Robbing a Letter Carrier, New Hampshire 2024

CONCORD – A brazen daylight robbery shook the quiet streets of Nashua, New Hampshire, on April 16, 2024, when a United States Postal Service letter carrier was targeted by two thieves. The daring heist caught the attention of investigators, who worked tirelessly to bring the perpetrators to justice.

According to U.S. Attorney Jane E. Young, 18-year-old Tyler Savinon, a Lowell, Massachusetts native, has been charged with aiding, abetting, counseling, commanding, inducing, and procuring the robbery of property of the United States. The complaint was filed in federal court, with Savinon scheduled to appear in court today at 3:30 pm.

The investigation, led by the United States Postal Inspection Service, revealed that Savinon directed two co-conspirators, including one juvenile, to rob the mail carrier in order to obtain a proprietary key that would unlock blue mail collection boxes in the Nashua area. Investigators obtained valuable information, pictures, and video from concerned residents, which helped to identify the robbers, and eventually led investigators to Savinon.

Savinon’s actions allegedly led to the theft of mail from at least two collection boxes in Nashua, with one located on Dunstable Road and the other on Spring Street. The stolen mail was used in financial crimes, including ‘check washing.’

The charge carries a sentence of up to ten years in prison, up to three years of supervised release, and a fine of up to $250,000. The sentence will be determined by a federal district court judge based on the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and governing statutes.

The valuable assistance provided by the Nashua, New Hampshire Police Department and the Lowell, Massachusetts Police Department was instrumental in bringing Savinon to justice. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jarad E. Hodes is prosecuting the case.

The details contained in the charging documents are allegations, and Savinon is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
