Omaha Police have arrested a man wanted for several thefts and damage to several residential cluster-style mailboxes in the Standing Bear and Linden Estates neighborhoods.
32-year-old Jeremy Jakub was found near 72nd and Grover Tuesday, where he attempted to flee law enforcement twice that day.
Jakub's car collided with a postal inspector's vehicle during his second attempt to get away. He was caught after a brief foot pursuit and booked for four felony charges, including possession of financial transaction devices, possession of burglar tools, criminal mischief over $5,000 and operating a motor vehicle to avoid arrest.
Police say Jakub may be a suspect in other criminal activity not associated with the mailbox thefts. Police continue their search for two other suspects they saw are involved in the thefts.
