This postal worker definitely channeled her inner Grinch and stole some gift cards in order to get Christmas cheer. Iesha Conley was caught stealing gift cards out of envelopes.
The amount of mail that goes out during the holidays is huge and what some of these letters contain might be bigger. Postal worker Iesha Conley has a lot of explaining to do since she was caught going through the mail and stealing gift cards. But the way she got caught is probably the most laughable. She purchased discounted sex toys and that is how she got caught red handed. Groupon deals will get you.
Conley, 48, came under investigation when a West Nyack woman reported that she’d sent a $100 American Express gift card to a relative in Floral Park, Long Island, but when the letter arrived it had been opened and the gift card was missing.
When the woman called American Express, she was told an individual had used it to buy three adult sex toys with it from discount retailer Groupon.com totally nearly $100.
The criminal complaint, filed by the Office of the Inspector General for the Postal Service, says Conley used her iPhone to make the racy purchase and that it was delivered to her Brooklyn home.
The same gift card was also used in an attempt to pay a cable bill at Conley’s home, it said.
The complaint says Conley was working at the US Postal Service’s Brooklyn Processing and Distribution Center on the dates the greeting card was processed.
In late December, Conley was caught on surveillance video at processing center, “ripping open and removing the contents from dozens of greeting card envelopes,” according to the complaint.
There is also footage of Conley as she walked away with some mail. She definitely must’ve had a screening process. If she is convicted, she could face up to 5 years in jail. Conley was released today on a $15,000 bond.
I wonder if she thinks that buying these discounted sex toys were a good idea.
