TAMPA, Fla. — A reward of up to $50,000 is being offered for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of a man accused of robbing a United States Postal Service letter carrier.
The theft happened just after noon Monday at the Whittier Shopping Center at 5101 E. Busch Boulevard in Tampa, according to the United States Postal Inspection Service.
