HIGHLANDS RANCH, Colo.—A former Denver-area postal worker who stole more than 11,000 packages and sold the items for more than $85,000 has been sentenced to 2.5 years in federal prison.
Denver’s KUSA-TV reports the judge sentenced 48-year-old David Schmauder to the maximum sentence Monday. He pleaded guilty in August to two felony counts of theft by mail.
Authorities say Schmauder stole packages over two years at a Highlands Ranch post office. The items included DVDs, CDs and lingerie from Victoria’s Secret.
Authorities say Schmauder sold most of the items to a store in Littleton.
The Postal Service estimates the losses at $283,913, but say there’s no way to know how much was stolen.
