A man was arrested after he allegedly stole coronavirus stimulus checks from the mail in Brooklyn Tuesday.

NYPD officers found 31-year-old Feng Chen in possession of multiple credit cards, mail and checks bearing different names, including stimulus checks totaling more than $12,000.

The officers first saw Chen look inside the medical collection bin at a closed medical office in Sunset Park in the early morning hours on Tuesday and then walk to a nearby residential building and examine mail left at the door.

Chen then walked into the gated area of a second residential building and left carrying what appeared to be mail, according to the police.

Chen then saw the officers and tossed mail on the sidewalk.

The officers exited their vehicle, observed a bulge in Chen's jacket pocket and searched him.

The officers also discovered Chen had an open bench warrant for a criminal case involving identity theft.
