Newberry County Sheriff deputies need your help solving a serious case.  It's been almost a week and officials have no leads to help them solve the case. 

Officials say late sunday night, before president's day, criminals broke into an outgoing mailbox at the pomaria post office.  The suspects stole everything inside. 

Sheriff Lee Foster says he's very concerned because sensitive and personal information could now be in the hands of crooks.

"These people knew what they were doing and they did it quickly," He stated.  He offers a word of advice to all residents.  "Try to take your mail inside the post office and never use an outside box during holidays when the mail has a potential to sit in the box for a few days."

If you have any information about this case, call CRIMESTOPPERS at 1-888-CRIMESC.
