Ledyard police have arrested two people accused of stealing mail from mailboxes in town.
Police said officers responded Saturday afternoon after a report of a woman, later identified as 31-year-old Karen Sattler, taking mail out of mailboxes on Bittersweet Drive. When confronted, Sattler tried to escape in a car.
Police stopped the vehicle on Route 12. Officers found mail stolen from nine different addresses on Bittersweet Drive and Avery Hill Road, as well as drug paraphernalia and a large knife.
Sattler and the driver, identified as 33-year-old Paul Bolduc, were both arrested. Both charged with sixth-degree larceny and criminal trespass. Bolduc was also charged with possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of a dangerous weapon in a motor vehicle.
Sattler was released to Norwich police, who had an outstanding warrant for her arrest. Bolduc was released on a $500 bond. Both are due in court on January 10.
