Mailboxes in the Sorrento community suffered criminal damage and burglary during Labor Day weekend.

Postmaster Sharon Kiszczak said several boxes were hit. Outgoing mail slots appeared to have been pried open by a crowbar or similar tool, which also allowed access to all of the individual boxes within each unit.

Seven-box units were reported damaged in four areas in the community. There is no information available regarding missing or stolen mail.

The Maricopa Police Department estimates the crime occurred between 7 p.m. Saturday and 7 a.m. Sunday.

Kiszczak said police were called, and police notified postal inspectors, who are investigating.
