Officers returned with a warrant and recovered about eight-thousand pieces of stolen mail, 15-hundred stolen or fraudulent bank cards, 50 passports as well as a firearm with ammunition and three imitations.

Police say they are working to return the stolen documents to their owners while charges in the case are pending.
