Hampton police are investigating what they say is a series of mailbox vandalisms/thefts that have occurred throughout the city.
Between October 23 and December 11, police say there have been about nine blue Postal Mail Drop-off boxes vandalized in Hampton.

Police say if you believe that any of your mail could have been stolen as a result of these incidents, please contact the U.S. Postal Inspection Service.
They say the safest way to send sensitive mail is to drop them inside of a Post Office building or physically hand them to a mail carrier.

Officials are asking everyone to remain vigilant and call the police to report any suspected suspicious activity. They say do not approach anyone that looks like they are doing something suspicious because it could be a potentially dangerous situation.
