All of the missing packages contained female-oriented products and led police to place a package containing female underwear in his delivery van. Police allege the package disappeared within a matter of hours and Furness was questioned by investigators.

The Sun said after the married postal worker denied the theft allegations, police conducted a strip search and allegedly found Furness wearing the missing red thong.

Furness later pleaded guilty to two counts of theft and received a two-year conditional discharge and a fine, the newspaper said.
