Nyasia Hutchinson, 26, of
Jersey City, pleaded guilty to
one count of theft of mail by a postal employee.
According to documents filed in the case, and
statements made in court, from May 1,
2018, through Dec. 31, 2018, another employee provided Hutchinson with 15 to 20
stolen cellphones that the employee had taken out of packages at the EPO that
had been mailed to a Hillside business.
Hutchinson admitted she taped up empty packages and
placed them back in the mail stream after cellphones had been
removed.
Hutchinson later sold the stolen iPhones,
approximately valued at $12,000, keeping the sales proceeds for herself.
She faces five years in prison.
