Roseville police arrest 3 in mail theft sting

A woman drove up to a mailbox outside a Roseville residence last Thursday, reached in and retrieved a package. She lowered the red flag, shut the mailbox and drove off.

What she didn’t know was that the package was a decoy left by police conducting an undercover sting operation in hopes of catching thieves who have taken mail from more than 20 homes in the city in recent weeks.
