Responding deputies found a USPS employee who had been robbed of several packages prior to delivery.
According to investigators, a female suspect approached the victim and handed a letter addressed to "Santa Claus North Pole."
While the mail carrier looked at the letter, the woman sprayed the victim with an unknown aerosol chemical irritant, officials said.
A male suspect also approached and physically assaulted the victim while the female suspect removed packages from the mail carrier's vehicle.
The suspects were last seen fleeing the scene in an early 2000 model white Ford Explorer. The victim was transported and treated at a nearby hospital.
