Several times over the past few weeks, vandals have broken into NBUs, Neighborhood Box Units, in a number of Escalon neighborhoods, looking to steal mail and any valuables they could find. “It’s called a volume attack because it affects more than one individual box,” Escalon Postmaster Ken Crandal said of the mail theft and mailbox vandalism. “They have damaged NBUs on Mission, Yosemite, Thaddeous and, most recently, on Jessica Circle.”
