AURORA, Colo. — The United States Postal Inspection Service is offering a reward of up to $150,000 for information leading up to the arrest and conviction of two suspects wanted for assaulting and robbing of a postal worker.
On Sept. 1, a U.S. Postal Service letter carrier was assaulted and robbed near South Peoria Street and East Florida Avenue in Aurora, according to the inspection service. Two suspects made off with bins of mail, a mail scanner, and a set of keys, according to police.

The suspects are gang-affiliated and may use street names of "Traffic," "Emerald Seven," "Emperor Seven," "Almighty" or "Twin," according to a release from the inspection service.
In September, postal investigators were able to quickly arrest a suspect by the name of Dravell Emron Ross because of a stolen mail scanner that was traceable through its GPS tracking ability.
Arrow keys have become highly sought after items over the past few years with criminal organizations seeking to rob letter carriers, who often wear them attached to their uniforms.
The keys can open community mailboxes, blue mail drop boxes, and access gates at some apartment complexes.
