Ex-postal worker charged in gift card thefts

A former postal worker in Romeo is accused of stealing and using gift cards from customers on her delivery route over the holidays, postal investigators said.

The United States Postal Service Office of Inspector General began investigating Cynthia Winters after customers complained of missing gift cards, according to a criminal complaint filed Monday in U.S. District Court. She is charged with theft of mail by a postal employee.

One man called the mail theft complaint hotline to report two $100 gift cards mailed Dec. 19 from his father's Ray Township home never reached the relative they were intended for. One from Target was redeemed four days later at a Shelby Township location.
