A POSTMAN from Blaenau Gwent has resigned following an investigation into undelivered mail.

Items of mail which have been recovered as part of the internal probe will now be delivered to customers.

Royal Mail bosses have sent out letters of apology to customers who have been affected.

A spokesman for Royal Mail said: “Royal Mail can confirm that an employee has resigned following an investigation into the intentional delay of mail.

“We apologise to any customer whose mail has been affected by this incident.

“Royal Mail has a zero tolerance approach to any dishonesty and that stance is shared by the overwhelming majority of postmen and women, who are honest and hardworking and who do all they can to protect the mail and deliver it safely.

“It is a criminal offence to tamper with or delay the delivery of mail and anyone caught doing so will face serious disciplinary measures and Royal Mail will always seek to prosecute the tiny minority of people who abuse their position of trust.”
