NEWCASTLE, England, May 13 (UPI) -- A British mail carrier convicted of stealing mail abandoned his apartment after stuffing it with an estimated 76,000 letters and packages, prosecutors said.
Paul Noga, 38, was forced to move in with his mother because he had no room left, The Daily Mail reported Thursday.
Noga pleaded guilty Thursday in Newcastle Crown Court to stealing or delaying thousands of letters, bank statements and gift packages on his Northumberland route from September 2007 to September 2009.
Noga also pleaded guilty to a charge of criminal damage and a charge of arson for burning as many as 1,000 of the packages and damaging hundreds more, authorities said.
Noga's lawyer, Shuan Routledge, said his client was a good man who had breached the public's trust because he was working too many hours and became overwhelmed.
