A career offender with more than 25 arrests is facing a new series of charges after allegedly cutting through a gated Westlake community in Austin, Texas using 42 inch bolt cutters and ripping open six USPS cluster mailboxes, leaving behind stolen credit cards, paycheques and piles of destroyed post across one of the city's wealthiest neighbourhoods.
The dramatic allegations were first detailed by local justice watch account Austin Justice, which wrote on X: 'AUSTIN MAN slices open a gated Westlake community overnight with 42-inch bolt cutters, breaks into six cluster mailboxes, and steals residents' mail including credit cards and paychecks before driving 8 miles to an apartment complex and prying open its mail room next.'
