Fallbrook Mail Thieves Caught Red-Handed

Katlyn Seibert, 22, and Nathan Bonds, 28, are accused of mail theft throughout Southern California, including a string of thefts in Fallbrook

Two suspects accused in a string of mail thefts in Fallbrook were caught red-handed Tuesday – one suspect with her hand inside a mailbox, investigators said.

The San Diego County Sheriff’s Department said Riverside residents Katlyn Seibert, 22, and Nathan Bonds, 28, were arrested just after 4 p.m. in the 2400 block of East Mission Road in Fallbrook.

Throughout the day, deputies had received several calls regarding the suspects inside a small, silver sedan approaching mailboxes in the area.

A patrol deputy was driving when he saw the suspects’ vehicle parked in front of some mailboxes. Officials said Seibert had her hand out of the passenger side window and inside a mailbox.

When the deputy approached the pair, they initially lied about their names. Once officials identified them and looked into their background, investigators discovered Seibert and Bonds had stolen mail from numerous locations in Fallbrook and other parts of Southern California, the sheriff’s department said.

According to investigators, Seibert and Bonds were in possession of personal identifying information of at least 36 people, with the count still rising.

The duo was arrested on charges of theft of more than 10 identities with intent to defraud, plus providing false identity to deputies. They were booked into Vista Detention Facility in San Diego’s North County and are slated to appear in court Thursday.

The investigation is ongoing.

Anyone with information on this case or anyone who believes they were a victim of mail theft in this case should reach out to the Fallbrook Sheriff’s Station at (760) 451-3100.
