A nearly empty mail truck was recovered in Palmdale and sheriff’s deputies were investigating how it got there, authorities said Monday.
The truck was found about 4 p.m. Sunday in a Sears outlet store parking lot in the 300 block of West Rancho Vista Boulevard, Lt. Steve DeJong of the Palmdale sheriff’s station said.
The truck was stolen from the U.S. Postal Service’s Mojave office and may have been taken when burglars found the keys, he said.
There was no mail inside the truck but a weed-whacker was found in the back, DeJong said.
