Three people have been arrested on suspicion of breaking into the Olalla Post Office and several other federal facilities around the region last year.

A 36-year-old man from Tacoma appeared in court on Wednesday, Nov 26 facing charges of bank fraud and aggravated identity theft as the alleged leader of a trio of men behind a series of post office break-ins spanning Kitsap, Thurston, Pierce, King, and Island Counties last July.
