Caught on camera during two separate incidents, Medrano’s illicit mailbox break-ins were brought to a halt with her arrest. The charges against her spanned the spectrum from the initial mail theft accusations to fresh allegations of identity theft and probation violation.

Stay tuned for updates as this gripping tale of mail theft and identity deception unfolds, shaking the roots of El Dorado County communities.
