BRISTOL, CT — Police mistook a postal worker for a package thief on Thursday.
The police department sent out a video to multiple news outlets of the man, wearing plain clothes, picking up a package from the porch of a Queen Street residence Monday around 3 p.m. The homeowner, who has a video surveillance system, thought the package had been stolen and reported it to police.
The postal worker in the video, a supervisor with the post office, immediately contacted police Thursday when he saw that video and pictures of him taking the package had been released by police to the public, asking someone to identify him.
J.R. White, postmaster at the Bristol post office, said Thursday that the supervisor — who did not wish to comment — was rectifying a mistake made by a mailman. A resident a few homes down from where the package was delivered received an online alert on Monday letting them know their package had been delivered. However, it was not on the doorstep as would be expected.
The supervisor was trying to do the right thing when he drove out to the Queen Street home on Monday, took the package that was wrongly delivered and brought it to the correct home. White said the homeowner who reported the theft had ordered multiple packages and must have assumed the one taken had been stolen.

That supervisor was doing craft work!!!!
The most important question wasn’t asked, did he scan the parcel?
If you take a closer look at the video….It shows the person taking a look at both packages and then the address closely. He then put one back and removed the other. Package thieves will take ALL THE PACKAGES!
They can spin it anyway they want. A thief is a thief.
Supervisor A did whats expected of a Postal Employee and our customers mail. Please forward the customers mail until delivered.
In Gretna, La the Supervisor told me my son’s mail was delivered yet he never received any package with the ordered items. The matter was never rectified and the Supervisor needs training. I spoke to the on duty supervisor only to hear her say I told your son we delivered the package. No record at all!
ST PETE PSYCHO: Except in this case he was NOT a thief! If you actually read the article, you’re reading comprehension leaves much to be desired.
It was a stupidvisor who was caught on video, they don’t wear uniforms.
Do you people read the story before getting diarrhea of the mouth??
We keep telling Management to supply them with a Uniform for New hires!
Did you READ the article, it was a supervisor, NOT a carrier!!
