Police have arrested a man who is allegedly responsible for stealing mail from thousands of Salt Lake County residents.

Kevin Humphreys, 35, was arrested Tuesday afternoon, Draper police announced Wednesday.

A search of his residence "yielded numerous pieces of mail from victims in cities throughout Salt Lake County," police said in a press release. "At least a thousand victims have been identified and investigators are still sorting through recovered mail ... to identify and return mail to victims."

Humphreys was the main suspect in the case and investigators were actively looking for him when he was picked up by Unified Police officers as he was trying to cash a forged check in Midvale, the press release said.

Humphreys has been arrested by Draper Police on two previous occasions for similar violations, and at the time of his arrest had multiple warrants for his arrest, including being a fugitive from justice, the press release said.
