Colin Richardson was suffering from mental health problems when he claimed he was bullied and harassed by colleagues. Richardson claimed he could "get a gun easy" by making a 430-mile round trip to Liverpool from his workplace in Falkirk, the Daily Record reports. He also claimed police were monitoring his internet searches and sharing information with the people he claimed were bullying him. Royal Mail staff were baffled and began to fear for their safety in April 2017 when he filed a formal complaint accusing seven colleagues of bullying and harassment.
