KITTITAS COUNTY -- A post office burglar has been caught and arrested after a string of break-ins at a Cle Elum post office.

Authorities say that Kittitas County Sheriff’s Deputies and US Postal Inspectors arrested 29-year-old Amanda Woodcock of South Cle Elum after serving a search warrant at her home.

Kittitas Deputies say Woodcock is believed to be involved in burglaries at the South Cle Elum Post Office on 6/14, 6/21, and 6/26.

In each of the burglaries, someone forced their way into the secured area of the office and took mail and packages. The initial incident was reported to the US Postal Inspection Service by the local Postmaster. Deputies also responded and consulted with the Postal Inspector.

Deputies say the office was broken into again on 6/21, so deputies worked with Postal Inspectors to place a motion-sensitive camera in the secured area of the office. In the early morning of 6/26, that camera captured video of Woodcock inside the secured area of the post office, rifling through packages. The camera also captured footage of Woodcock observing the camera, pulling it down, and throwing it outside.

It was later recovered by deputies.

Authorities say law enforcement knocked on Woodcock’s door to serve a search warrant on June 27, Woodcock answered wearing the same sweatshirt she wore when video-recorded her burglarizing the office on Sunday morning.

The property was stolen from the post office, and the rest of the outfit from the video was found inside the house.

Authorities say Woodcock’s Facebook account has actively participated in social media discussions of the post office burglaries in recent weeks, and she was one of the first two people to call Kittcom to report the second burglary on 6/21.

Woodcock was arrested and transported for booking on charges of burglary, malicious mischief, and theft.

This investigation is ongoing, and anyone with information is asked to call Kittcom at 509-925-8534 and provide your information for Deputies Thompson or Corbett.
