A Lowell resident has been sentenced in federal court for his role in the robbery of a mail carrier in New Hampshire. U.S. Attorney Erin Creegan announced that Tyler Savinon, 19, received an 18-month prison sentence and three years of supervised release from U.S. District Chief Judge Samantha D. Elliott.
Savinon pleaded guilty in April 2025 to aiding and abetting the robbery of a mail carrier. According to court documents and statements, he directed two co-conspirators to rob the mail carrier with the goal of stealing a proprietary key used to open blue mail collection boxes in Nashua. Investigators found that Savinon used the stolen key to access at least two collection boxes located on Dunstable Road and Spring Street.
“Mail carriers perform an essential public service, and they deserve to do their jobs without fear of violence or intimidation,” said U.S. Attorney Creegan. “Today’s sentence holds the defendant accountable for knowingly aiding a crime that put a federal employee and the public at risk.”
Acting Inspector-in-Charge Nicholas J. Bucciarelli of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, Boston Division added: “Combating mail theft and violent crimes targeting postal employees is of the highest priority for the U.S. Postal Inspection Service. As the law enforcement arm of the Postal Service, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service leads the Postal Service’s efforts to protect all postal employees, including letter carriers, and ensure the secure delivery of mail to the American public. Today’s sentencing highlights our dedication to keeping our employees safe.”
The United States Postal Inspection Service led the investigation with assistance from both Nashua Police Department and Lowell Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Anna Z. Krasinski prosecuted the case.
