Every mailbox in Brooklyn Heights was locked down Wednesday
USPS: To Prevent Terrorism
Anna Zalwska, who works at Teresa’s Restaurant on Montague Street in Brooklyn Heights, was trying to mail a couple of bills on Thursday at the USPS mailbox on the corner of Montague and Hicks streets.
But the familiar blue collection box was padlocked with a heavy red bar bearing the words, “This collection box has been locked. Do not attempt to open or use.”
“I’m disappointed,” she said, adding that now she didn’t know where to mail the letters. “They should improve that. It’s pretty convenient to mail the letters on the street.”
