Police were searching Monday for three men wanted for stealing mail from an apartment building on Vermont Avenue and Beverly Boulevard in Los Angeles.

Surveillance video showed three men arriving at the Frostonya Apartments just before 5 a.m. Saturday.

The men could be seen riding bikes and appeared to enter the building using a postal carrier’s master key, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

The video showed one of the men entering the mail room and opening each of the multi-box units using what police believe was a post office universal key.

One suspect appeared to go to into the hallway to act as a lookout, police said. Another man stood watch at the front door.

The three men left with trash bags filled with stolen mail, according to police.
