Seward Police officers responding to a report of an alarm at the Post Office late Sunday night, June 3rd, entered the building and arrested a man and a juvenile for multiple counts of burglary and attempted theft.  The males, who were caught in the act of trying to steal packages, were identified as 18 year old, Steven Faigle and a 15 year old accomplice. Faigle was taken to the Seward Community Jail where he was booked and incarcerated.  The 15 year old was taken to Seward Police Department and was later released to his parents.  The police investigation revealed that approximately 20 pieces of mail had been “compromised,” which means opened or emptied, according to Lieutenant Louis Tiner.  But all of the mail has been accounted for,  according to the Seward Postmaster. The U.S. Postal Inspectors Service in Anchorage was contacted and an investigator arrived in Seward early Monday morning. The compromised mail was seized by the inspector and taken to Anchorage for forensic processing, and will later be returned to the addressees.  The Seward Police Department and the Postal Service are working together to complete the investigation.

  • I wonder if these young men had any clue they were committing a federal crime and might be going to the federal pen.
