After listening to neighbors concerns regarding cluster mailbox break-ins, the PGCA put together a community meeting that was held in conjunction with Gabriela Herrera from Congressmember Matsui’s Office.  As a result of the meeting the cluster mailboxes that were recently broken into with an illegal master key will have their locks replaced. Here is a list of streets that had cluster mailboxes broken into with an illegal master key and have now had their locks replaced:

• 7700 West Shore Dr
• 699 Coriander Way
• 7605 Pocket Rd
• 26 Axios Court
• 7465 Pocket rd.
• 7005 Warbler Way
• 7605 Pocket Rd.
• 7800 River Village Drive
• 20 Pebble River Circle
• 267 Brewster Avenue
• 60 Portinao Circle
• 300 Portinao Circle
• 231 Portinao Circle

The PGCA also put together a community meeting in 2018 to make sure neighbors would have their old style cluster mailboxes replaced with them more secure F-series after a break-in.
