Italian postal worker arrested after hiding packages
VICENZA, ITALY – Sometimes it might feel like it’s taking forever for a package to arrive by mail. And for residents of a northern town in Italy, that sentiment is more than true.
A postal worker was arrested recently after police found more than 1,100 pounds of undelivered mail hidden away in his garage in Vicenza, according to Reuters.
Police were called in after workers from a recycling plant went to empty the 56-year-old’s garage and found 43 yellow plastic postal containers containing letters, bills, bank statements and electoral pamphlets dating back to 2010.
Despite the delay, the Vicenza postal service promised to deliver the outdated mail.
