USPS enhances security on Forest Hills relay boxes after pressure from Rep. Meng

Continuing her years-long effort to combat mail theft in Queens, U.S. Rep. Grace Meng announced Tuesday that she successfully persuaded the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) to repair and enhance the security of four green relay boxes in Forest Hills after they were broken into and mail was stolen.

Green relay boxes store mail and are often located next to blue collection boxes throughout the borough. Over the past few years, thieves have targeted these boxes and stolen mail from them, including checks, prescriptions, bank and credit card statements, and other personal and sensitive information. This information is often used to steal money and identity data from Queens residents.
