When he was confronted Tuesday, Brucato told agents that he had been keeping undelivered mail in his car for the past six months, noting that “on some days he did not deliver the mail intended for his route for various personal reasons.”
Brucato, who has delivered mail since 2001, is assigned to Brooklyn’s Ryder Station.
According to U.S. District Court criminal complaint, Brucato consented to a search of his car, locker, and home. Agents recovered “approximately 2500 pounds of U.S. mail, some postmarked as early as 2005,” Agent Michael Wu reported. The seized material included “parcels, Priority, First Class and Standard Class” mail intended for Brooklyn residents and businesses.
