A U.S. Postal Service worker at the Elkridge post office is facing theft charges, accused of stealing more than $314,000 worth of stamps and, with a friend's help, selling them on eBay.
Postal inspectors said in a federal criminal complaint that law enforcement officials began seeing stamps for sale on eBay at discounted prices in October 2008, and bought some, identifying a 23-year old Joppa man as the seller. Through him, investigators were led to a postal clerk at the Elkridge Post Office. Later a video surveillance camera showed the man taking blocks of new stamps from a locked enclosure at the Elkridge office at 2:10 one January morning, and on other occasions.
