BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) – A Buffalo man is accused of stealing mail while working as a postal worker with the U.S. Postal Service.

Authorities say they discovered multiple bundles of undelivered advertisements, placards, and undelivered First Class mail in the car of 37-year-old Richard D’Arcy.

According to the criminal complaint, D’Arcy had opened some of the mail and took the contents which included solicitations from various veterans groups, children’s cancer foundations, and animal protection groups, which contained a $1 bill or other coin currency, seeking additional contributions from patrons.

Law enforcement searched D’Arcy’s car after another mail carrier discovered 52 pieces of mail, in delivery order, in a blue collection box McKinley Parkway in Buffalo near where D’Arcy lives.
