Authorities have arrested a man in a Detroit suburb after he was found stealing mail while working as an Amazon delivery driver. The man was identified using license plate readers, which helped track down a vehicle matching the suspect’s car near the scene of a crime. The vehicle, a black Ram pickup with distinctive features, was registered to Avis Car Rental and rented by the suspect, Michael Lamar Smith-Ellis. A search of the suspect’s address led to the discovery of piles of mail and goods purchased with stolen credit cards and checks. Smith-Ellis and another individual were later apprehended in a vehicle that had firearms, face coverings, and more stolen mail.
