SUMMARY: On March 10, 2025, a female suspect used a stolen United States Postal Service (USPS) master key to open a community mailbox in the Rosena Ranch community of unincorporated San Bernardino. The suspect was driving a 2022 white Dodge Charger, which a witness observed and documented it's license plate. Detectives from the Fontana Sheriff's Station identified the vehicle as a rental car and began a follow-up investigation. Based on surveillance video and other evidence, detectives identified Rachel Sandoval as the suspect.
On April 16, 2025, Sandoval, who was out of custody on bail for an unrelated identity theft case, was arrested and a probation search of her residence was conducted. During the search investigators located several hundred pieces of stolen mail from the San Bernardino area, the USPS master key, and a large quantity of stolen identification cards, credit cards, and EBT cards. A search warrant was served on her phone which yielded hundreds of photos related to identity theft and fraud. Sandoval was booked at the West Valley Detention Center where she is being held without bail. Investigators learned Sandoval was using fraudulently obtained credit cards to make fraudulent purchases at stores throughout San Bernardino County.
Investigators believe there are additional thefts and victims related to Sandoval. Detectives are releasing Sandoval’s picture and a picture of the suspect vehicle. Anyone with additional information is encouraged to contact Detective Pedersen at 909-356-6767.
