BOSTON (WHDH) - A reward of up to $150,000 is being offered by federal authorities as police search for a man who robbed a mail carrier in Mattapan last week.
The US Postal Inspection Service is offering the reward to anyone who provides information resulting in the arrest of the suspect, who was caught on camera robbing a US Postal Service carrier on Wednesday, Oct. 18.
According to the USPIS, the robbery happened in the area of Stonecrest Road just before 2:30 p.m.
