NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (WAVY) — If you’ve noticed some of your mail is missing in Newport News, there’s likely a reason.
Two WAVY viewers recently witnessed a U.S. Postal worker tossing mail into the trash, and one of them has video showing it taking place.
The video sent to 10 On Your Side shows what looks like a mail carrier going through a stack of mail and tossing pieces of mail into the dumpster.
“I just walked into work that morning, parking my car, and then that’s when I noticed him across the street with the mail,” one of the viewers said. “And I’m like, ‘Oh, this doesn’t really look right.’ And then that’s what prompted me to record it.”
The two viewers want to remain anonymous and spoke to 10 On Your Side on the phone. They went over to the dumpster to take a look. That’s where they found multiple pieces of mail.
