CHARGES: NW PHILADELPHIA-BASED “SAYSLIDE” GANG USED FIREARMS, VIOLENCE TO COMMIT THEFT AND FRAUD UTILIZING STOLEN USPS ARROW KEYS

HARRISBURG — Attorney General Michelle Henry announced charges against numerous members and associates of the “SaySlide” criminal organization, from the Ogontz and Oak Lane neighborhoods in Philadelphia that used violence to perpetrate a theft and fraud scheme targeting United States Postal Service drop boxes. These charges come after a month-long Grand Jury investigation.

The “SaySlide” criminal enterprise revolved around the theft, often by force, of master keys, or arrow keys, for blue USPS drop boxes in Philadelphia and its nearby suburbs, such as Willow Grove and Blue Bell. The defendants then emptied USPS boxes, taking checks from envelopes, which were altered to bring payouts to “SaySlide” members.

The Office of Attorney General recently charged 15 “SaySlide” members and their associates — including alleged ring-leader William Logan, 28 — with a variety of offenses, including corrupt organizations, conspiracy to commit murder, aggravated assault, and armed robbery.

The defendants are in custody, with arraignments ongoing.
