A STASH of stolen mail has been found in the back of a vehicle after a driver was seen flinging letters from a car window on the highway.
Cops stopped the driver and discovered a large cache of mail in the back seat of his car, which had “cold plates” on it.
The bust, carried out by Rancho Cordova police in Sacramento , California, follows a surge in stolen mail across the region.
Rancho Cordova Police Department disclosed the latest mail mishap on February 5.
It said its officers recently tried to stop a black Volkswagen Jetta for a traffic violation, but the driver hit the gas, leading cops on a chase down the highway.
As police closed in, the suspect began tossing stolen mail out of the car window.
The chase ended when officers used spike strips to blow out the car’s tires and the driver was arrested on the spot.
