Rose says new tamper-proof mailboxes help prevent theft
DYKER HEIGHTS — Mail “fishing” is going out of style, thanks to newer postal boxes on the streets, according to U.S. Rep. Max Rose, who came to Dyker Heights Thursday to tout a big change made by the U.S. Postal Service.
Rose stood outside the Dyker Heights Post Office at 8320 13th Ave. and announced that the USPS has completed a project to replace all of the old sidewalk mailboxes in the 11th Congressional District, the district he represents, with newer, tamper-proof mailboxes designed to prevent mail theft.
Rose called the new mailboxes “a win for this community.”
