CHESAPEAKE, Va. — Police arrested two men in connection to a robbery of a United States Postal Service employee in Chesapeake.

Court documents show a postal carrier was robbed while on their route back in October. Postal inspector Tom Sylvester said the suspects stole the postal worker's key and used it to steal from three different collection box locations in Chesapeake, including checks.
