\u201cWhether it is connecting with loved ones who are far away or ensuring important and sensitive information is transported safely, the postal system is a crucial component of our lives,\u201d said FDLE Tallahassee Special Agent in Charge Keith Wilmer. \u201cManipulating the U.S. Mailing System will never be tolerated in Florida and FDLE will investigate any crimes that affect that system.\u201d<\/p>\n
