ORANGEBURG, S.C. (AP) - Authorities in South Carolina are searching for two women who have stolen mail from two dozen addresses.

Orangeburg County Sheriff Leroy Ravenell told news outlets Thursday that two unidentified women have been stealing mail from the eastern part of the county.

Ravenell said authorities have found at least two locations where open mail has been dumped with no items of value left behind.



“It’s one thing to steal mail. But to think that at this time of year there could be a grandmother’s Christmas card to her granddaughter that was just tossed into a ditch?” Ravenell said in a statement. “No, no. We’re going to have a word with you about that. Very soon.”

Ravenell said video from home security systems show two white women in a white compact car. He said the department is increasing patrols and investigators are looking for any information.
