MIAMI (CBSMiami) - A Miami Beach postal employee is facing federal charges after admitting to investigators that for the past two years, she stole mail, including gift cards and mail-in ballots.

Crystal Nicole Myrie admitted to investigators that she has been stealing mail sporadically for the past two years.

Investigators said they found 150 pieces of mail in her car.

The probable cause affidavit says that Myrie was interviewed on October 16, 2020, at the Normandy Branch Post Office, in Miami Beach, regarding a mail theft
investigation.

intended to be delivered to a customer on her route.
