"These are Napa County taxpayers. They are the lifeblood of our county."
"I think you have somebody locally who's doing the stealing, somebody within the Bay Area between the Oakland post office, postal facility processing, and our office. And, they're then disseminating these stolen checks throughout the country."
"Hopefully, as we get closer and closer to identifying, where these checks are being stolen, people are getting more and more nervous."
Napa County tax collectors report nearly 50 property tax checks totaling $1.5 million were stolen through mail fraud. One suspect, Ricco Jackson, has been arrested and charged with fraudulent schemes. The stolen checks have been deposited in multiple states, and authorities are searching for local suspects. Taxpayers have received partial reimbursements, but the investigation continues.
