A postal worker was robbed in broad daylight in Winter Park Monday. It happened just after noon on Minnesota Avenue. "It was the middle of the work day. It's the least you expect to look out your window and see officers canvassing the neighborhood," said Laura Copney, who lives in the area where the robbery happened. She was working from home when she started seeing the police arrive. "A police officer pulled up on the sidewalk here. There was one across the street," She said. "Every direction and they were obviously walking around and wanted to ask if we had any video footage."The robbery happened just after noon, a time when people WESH talked to said the area, which is close to businesses and restaurants, would have been busy. "Very busy at noon," Chuck Adams, who lives in the area, said. Police haven't named the worker, but Copney believes it could be the carrier she has come to know. It was one of the questions she asked the police on Monday. "My next question was, do we have anything to be concerned with being in the neighborhood?" She told WESH. "And they said there was an incident, but we should be okay."We reached out to the Winter Park Police Department with questions including asking what was stolen. But we hadn't heard back by Monday night. "There's not a whole lot of cash, social security checks in the mail anymore," Adams said.But these kinds of crimes are becoming more common according to the National Association of Letter Carriers. They held a rally in Jacksonville last month to "...demand an end to the assaults and robberies of letter carriers delivering their routes".At that time, the organization said there had been 10 robberies and attacks, "targeting letter carriers in the Jacksonville area since October 2022, half of them armed assaults."They said the crimes are becoming more frequent and more Violent in Jacksonville and elsewhere in Florida. Copney says if it was her letter carrier that was robbed, she knows what she'll say the next time she sees them. "I'll make sure she's okay. If there's anything we can do for her and to offer to, you know, watch for the neighborhood whenever she's out," Copney said. "I will be getting additional cameras that's for sure." Last month, a bipartisan bill was introduced in the House called the Protect our Letter Carriers Act. The bill would provide more than a billion dollars a year to the USPS for high-security collection boxes and allow letter carriers to use electronic keys. It would also direct the U.S. attorney to appoint attorneys to, "lead investigations and prosecutions of crimes against USPS employees, assets, and facilities" according to a release from Congressman Greg Landsman.
