Crescenta Valley Station would like to remind everyone to check your mail box each day and retrieve the contents.  Criminals will often attempt to steal mail during the late evening or early morning hours to avoid detection. The suspects will then use the stolen mail to commit identity theft or forgery.  If you witness any suspicious activity, call Crescenta Valley Station at 818-248-3464.  If it is a life threatening emergency, call 911.  Without the help from the community, the suspects in this incident may have fled the scene before Deputies could arrive.
