Lincoln woman gets probation for pilfering packages from post office

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — A Lincoln woman will be on federal probation for five years for mail theft and stealing a Post Office mailbox key.

U.S. District Judge John M. Gerrard sentenced Rockie Dubray, 35, on Monday, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

From March to September of 2022, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service received complaints of customers not receiving packages at several post offices in Lincoln.

So investigators installed a surveillance camera in the lobby of the College View post office.

One night in August 2022, the camera captured a woman using a master key to open mail lockers and steal packages.

She had a large, distinctive tattoo on her right leg, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.

On Sept. 3, 2022, the same woman was caught in the act again, authorities said.

Investigators identified the woman as Dubray using facial recognition technology.

She was interviewed later that month and admitted to stealing packages “on a couple of occasions,” the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.

Dubray said she still had the contents of one of the packages at home.
