A 24-year-old Loveland woman who worked as a postal carrier is accused of stealing more than 1,250 Netflix and Blockbuster DVDs from the mail in the Lyons area.
A federal grand jury in Denver indicted the woman, Karen Durante, late Wednesday. She is charged with four counts of stealing Netflix DVDs from the mail and one count of possessing 1,256 Netflix and Blockbuster DVDs which had been stolen from the mail.
Durante was a contract mail carrier for the U.S. Postal Service.
The indictment said she stole four DVDs from specific postal customers in July, after which authorities allegedly found additional DVDs at her home.
Netflix is an Internet-based business that rents movies on DVD to customers by mail for set monthly fees. Blockbuster, long in the movie rental business in brick-and-mortar stores, offers a similar mail rental service.
