USPS Investigating After Mail Reportedly Dumped In The Trash

In a release, Union police said the mail was found at a home on Elberson Court. An “abandoned” USPS vehicle was found nearby, police also said.

Police held the mail until it could be picked up by investigators from the United States Postal Service.

London Mulcahy, a spokeswoman for the USPS Office of the Inspector General, said the vehicle was not abandoned but had broken down and was later retrieved by USPS personnel.

But she did say Friday that the inspector general is investigating the discarded mail. Mulcahy did not release any additional information, citing the ongoing investigation.
