Felony charges filed against duo accused in 2022 armed robbery of USPS letter carrier in Hinsdale

CHICAGO — Felony charges have been filed against two Chicago men accused of robbing a letter carrier at gunpoint in the western suburbs in 2022.

According to officials from the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, 22-year-old Antwan Kelsor and 23-year-old Maurice Deloach, both Chicago residents, have each been charged with four felony counts of identity theft, three felony counts of conspiracy to defraud financial institutions, and two felony counts of financial institution fraud.

Kelsor is also facing two additional counts of armed robbery with a firearm.

Authorities said the charges stem from the duo’s alleged role in the armed robbery of a USPS letter carrier in west sububran Hinsdale in mid-2022.

The robbery sparked an investigation, with postal inspectors eventually offering a reward for information leading to an arrest.

The first arrest finally came exactly three years after the robbery, when Kelsor was arrested by Chicago police officers on Friday, May 9.

Postal inspectors and Hinsdale police officers caught up with Deloach a few days later, on May 12.

“This investigation and resulting arrests demonstrate the role the U.S. Postal Inspection Service and our law enforcement partners play in seeking and attaining justice on behalf of Postal Service employees and customers,” Ruth Mendonça, Inspector in Charge of the Chicago Division of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, said. “The U.S. Postal Inspection Service is dedicated to protecting United States Postal Service employees, defending the nation’s mail system from criminal activity, and preserving the integrity of the U.S. Mail.”
