Florida men charged with stealing mail-in ballots from post office

Two men in Miami were accused of stealing mail-in ballots from a post office mailbox.

The incident occurred late Tuesday in Broward County when a police officer noticed two men idling in a vehicle next to a mailbox in Lighthouse Point, north of Fort Lauderdale, the South Florida SunSentinel reported.

The officer spotted a bag of mail wedged between the front car seat of the vehicle and also noticed a device used to fish mail out of the drop box. Additionally, there were two mail-in ballots separated from the other mail spotted.

Authorities arrested Junior Alexander Cabral, 28, and Vladimir Cabral Cuevas, 20, charging them with stealing ballots, fraud and petit theft. The U.S. Postal Service is involved in the investigation, the report added.

The men attended their first court appearance Thursday morning before Broward Judge Corey Amanda Cawthon.
