Lincoln Woman Sentenced for Theft of Mail and Mail Key

Acting United States Attorney Susan Lehr announced that Rockie Dubray, 35, of Lincoln, Nebraska, was sentenced November 20, 2023, in federal court in Lincoln for stealing a Post Office mailbox key and theft of mail. United States District Court Judge John M. Gerrard sentenced Dubray to five years of probation.

Between March and September 2022, the United States Postal Inspection Service received numerous complaints from customers not receiving packages supposed to be delivered to lockers in several USPS locations in Lincoln. On August 3, 2022, the Post Office received similar complaints from customers not receiving their packages at the College View Station branch in Lincoln, Nebraska. Investigators installed a surveillance camera in the lobby.

On August 8, 2022, packages were stolen from the parcel locker at College View Station.  Surveillance video from the night before captured a white female using a master key to open mail lockers and take packages. The female had a large, distinctive tattoo on her right leg.

On September 3, 2022, video surveillance captured the same white female using a master key to access the lockers, but on this occasion, she was unable to remove the key from the lock. The female was still able to open the locker, however, and she stole packages.  

Still photos from the video surveillance were processed using facial recognition technology.  Rockie Dubray was identified as the female in the surveillance videos.  On September 27, 2022, Dubray was interviewed by a United States Postal Inspector and admitted to stealing packages from the parcel lockers on a couple occasions using a master key given to her. She admitted that she still had the contents of one of the stolen packages at her home.

This case was investigated by the United States Postal Inspection Service.
