Postman keeps mail at home for months
300kg of undelivered letters dating back to the summer found at postman's house after locals complain of missing mail
A POSTMAN in Bourgogne has been arrested for keeping 300kg of post at his home to avoid having to deliver it.
According to local paper Le Bien Public, police found several months of post at the man's home in Is-sur-Tille in the Côte d'Or department.
The Nouvel Observateur says the postman's actions were closely watched by police after a number of people in the town complained of missing mail since the summer.
The man has admitted to police that he had kept the piles of unopened letters at home to avoid having to do work. He is due to appear before judges in February.
