Cherry Hill residence robbed by fake mailman, crew

A Cherry Hill residence was robbed Tuesday afternoon after a man disguised as a postal worker forced his way inside and was joined by three accomplices, township police said.

The fake mailman, who wore a uniform, knocked on a door on the 1100 block of Society Hill Boulevard around 12:30 p.m. and was greeted by a female occupant who thought he was delivering a package.

He pushed his way in and was followed by the other assailants, two armed with handguns, police said. The men tied up the resident and her brother with belts and tape, and ransacked the home, getting away with cash and jewelry, they said.

The siblings were uninjured, according to authorities. Anyone with information has been asked to call Cherry Hill investigators at 856-488-7833. - Inquirer staff
