CHARLOTTE, N.C. – A United States Postal Service employee and two other conspirators face federal charges over a stolen checks scheme worth more than $24 million, according to the United States Attorney’s Office.
The three suspects – Nakedra Shannon, Donnell Gardner and Desiray Carter – all face charges of one count of conspiracy to commit financial institution fraud and five counts of theft of government property.
The scheme stems all the way back to March of 2021 when Shannon was employed by the USPS as a mail processing clerk. From them until July 2023, Shannon allegedly worked with the co-conspirators to steal incoming and outgoing checks. Officials say Gardner and Carter would then allegedly sell to other individuals using the Telegram channel OG Glass House.
Throughout the scheme, Gardner and Carter stole over $24 million in checks. Officials say more than $12 million was posted for sale on OG Glass House, and over $8 million in U.S. Treasury checks were stolen.
On top of the previous charges, Shannon was charged with eight counts of theft of mail by a postal employee. Carter and Gardner were also charged with seven counts of possession of stolen mail matter.
All three were released on bond.
