A total of seven D.C. area postal workers have been robbed in the past week after another mail carrier was victimized on Thursday.

This time it was in Bethesda when an armed suspect robbed a postal worker at gunpoint and stole a master key, according to WRC-TV, NBC’s Washington, D.C. station

The outlet reported that seven robberies have similar looking suspects and methods, with a dark sedan being used as the getaway car in most cases.
