A man in his 30s from West Devon was arrested on a number offences including theft of a vehicle
A man was found asleep behind the wheel of a stolen Royal Mail van during a police search in Okehampton. Officers from Devon and Cornwall Police and the National Police Air Service (NPAS) were called to the incident just before 7pm following reports of the theft of the van.
Police also received a report of a non-injury road traffic collision in the area that officers believe is linked to the matter. A man in his 30s from West Devon was later arrested on a number offences including theft of a vehicle.
In a full statement, a spokesperson for Devon and Cornwall Police told DevonLive: "Police were called just before 7pm on (May 21) following reports of the theft of a Royal Mail works van in Okehampton.
"We also received a report of a non-injury road traffic collision in the area that we believe is linked to this matter. Police searches took place with support from NPAS and detained a man in connection to this matter just before 9pm.

Dozy man caught asleep at the wheel of stolen Royal Mail van
I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
