Mailbox Vandalized, Mail Destroyed In Medical Lake
A mailbox was vandalized early Wednesday outside the Medical Lake post office and all the mail inside was destroyed.
About 80 pieces of mail were destroyed after four burning newspapers were dropped into the mailbox, said Ben Furukawa, the Medical Lake postmaster.
Furukawa discovered the vandalism about 5 a.m. and doused the fire with a bucket of water. He also found another newspaper on fire outside the building.
All mail that was dropped in that mailbox between 4:30 p.m. Tuesday and 5 a.m. Wednesday was destroyed, Furukawa said.
