Suspect Sentenced in Palmetto Lakes Robbery

Assistant Inspector-In-Charge Tony Gomez at press conference


At a press conference at U.S. Postal Inspection Service Miami Division Headquarters in Miramar, Assistant Inspector-In-Charge Tony Gomez announced to reporters that a suspect in a Post Office armed robbery had been sentenced.

Back in May 2010, three individuals robbed the Palmetto Lakes Post Office at 5375 NW 159 Street in Hialeah. Earlier this year, Postal Inspectors arrested the suspect for this $280 theft. This week the suspect was sentenced to seven years in prison.

Postal Inspectors have asked media to publicize the case (that includes up to a $10,000 reward) for the arrest and conviction of others involved.

Today’s press conference included WFOR Channel 4 (CBS), WSVN Channel 7 (FOX), WJAN Channel 41 AmericaTeVe, WSCV Channel 51 Telemundo, and the Herald.
