David B. Fein, United States Attorney
for the District of Connecticut, today announced that Korey Streater, 25, of
New Haven, pleaded guilty yesterday before United States District Judge Vanessa
L. Bryant in Hartford to one count of robbery of the mail, money, or other
property of the United States.
According to court documents and
statements made in court, on January 22, 2011, Streater brandished a fake
handgun and robbed the United States Postal Service Contract Station “E-Z Mail
& More LLC,” located at 920 Foxon Road in East Haven, of approximately
$1,413 and several U.S. mail items. On January 25, 2011, law enforcement
officers executed a state search warrant at the Streater’s residence and
recovered some of the stolen mail items as well as the weapon he brandished
during the robbery.
Judge Bryant has scheduled sentencing
for October 3, 2012, at which time Streater faces a maximum term of
imprisonment of 10 years and a fine of up to $250,000.
This case is being investigated by the
United States Postal Inspection Service with assistance provided by the Federal
Bureau of Investigations and the New Haven Police Department. The case is being
prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Marc H. Silverman.
