A mail carrier spent a little too much time taking mail rather than delivering it along his Winnipeg route, police say. A 58-year-old Canada Post employee has been charged with the theft of parcels valued at more than $40,000. Canada Post investigators told police they believed the thefts were committed by an employee who delivers mail along the route. Following their own investigation, police arrested the man at a home in the city's Mynarski neighbourhood on April 7. A search of the house found more than 100 more stolen items worth in excess of $30,000.
