Harry Edwin Jenkins, Jr., 47, of Cowdrey (near Walden), has been arrested for the mail thefts which occurred last month in rural areas of Larimer County.
In January, Larimer County Sheriff’s Office asked for the public’s help in providing information on a series of mail thefts that were occurring in the Bellvue, Rist Canyon and Poudre Canyon areas of Larimer County.
