Chicago, IL - A joint enforcement action on July 7, 2026, by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service and Chicago Police Department led to the arrest of Jeremy Zaloun, 51, near the 1600 block of North Mozart Street. Zaloun was identified as the suspect responsible for multiple burglaries and mail thefts in the Chicago Loop and North Side since at least 2024.

Based on the postal inspectors' investigation, the Cook County State's Attorney's Office charged Zaloun with 11 counts of felony burglary and one felony count of possession of a controlled substance. The U.S. Postal Inspection Service appreciates the assistance of the Chicago Police Department, specifically the 14th District Robbery/Burglary/Theft Mission Team, in this investigation, as well as its ongoing partnership with the Cook County State's Attorney's Office.

"The Postal Inspection Service will go after anyone who steals mail for financial gain or to further other criminal activity,"
said Inspector in Charge Nicholas Bucciarelli, Chicago Division of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service. "We value our law enforcement partners for supporting our mission."

Zaloun was indicted and charged in July 2025 for his role in a burglary and mail theft incidents across Chicago. That investigation was also conducted jointly by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service and Chicago Police Department.

It is important to note that criminal charges are only allegations against a person. Every defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
