An Italian postman has been arrested after 573kg (1,100 pounds) of undelivered mail was found stashed in the garage of his home in Vicenza.
It’s reported that workers from a recycling plant found the mail stored in plastic containers, with some of the mail dating back to 2010!
The mail included leaflets from 2010 regional elections, tax forms and utility bills.
Police were then called to the home of the 56-year-old man to make the arrest.
It’s been described as the biggest ever seizure of undelivered mail in Italy.
According to Rai, the postal service in the northern city of Vicenza will deliver the mail to the intended recipients.
In Italy, the “violation, misappropriation or destruction” of mail is a criminal offence punishable by up to 1 year in prison.
In the meantime, the bad postie has been suspended by the postal service.
