Linn County police are investigating a series of mailbox thefts in Ely.
Linn County Sheriff Brian Gardner said several mailboxes were stolen from residences Monday night in the small town about 12 miles southeast of Cedar Rapids.
Ely resident Fran Buresh said she was aware of between six and seven homes which had its mailboxes taken.
She added it did not appear to be a case of vandalism as the mailboxes were taken off of the poles they stood on.
Gardner said they are currently following some leads, but do not have a suspect in custody.
