PAULDING COUNTY, Ga. — Residents in a Hiram community are keeping an eye out for a suspected mail thief.
Paulding County sheriff’s deputies said they first received reports of thefts on Horseshoe Lane in Hiram last week.
Deputies told Channel 2's Audrey Washington they believe the woman has stolen from at least six mailboxes in the area.
She is in a pewter or gold-colored SUV, according to deputies.
During their investigation, deputies said they realized one of the victims captured the woman on a home surveillance camera.

Washington talked to a man who said the thief also tried to steal his mail.
"When they ring the bell and I saw the SUV I was like 'Oh my god.' And when I turned on the light they took off," Juan Valentine said.
Paulding County sheriff’s officials said thieves like her try to find anything they can in the stolen mail.
"Typically these folks are targeting credit cards, checks, any kind of gift cards anything that may have monetary value,” Sgt. Ashley Henson said.
