Postman Fired After Video Catches Him Smoking Drugs in Royal Mail Van

On October 30, 2025, a Royal Mail postman was caught on video smoking from a drugs pipe while sitting in his company van. The incident, which took place at 8:33 PM, shows the bespectacled employee calmly taking a long drag as he heats the device under his mouth with a lighter, sending sparks flying.

After 30 seconds, the mailman rocks back in his seat before packing away the pipe and gingerly leaving the vehicle. He then walks to the back of the van, looking around to see if he has been spotted, before opening the rear doors and preparing to deliver a parcel.

Horrified Royal Mail bosses immediately launched an urgent investigation into the matter. The company confirmed that the individual was an agency worker and is "no longer engaged" by Royal Mail following the incident.

The shocking footage, captured by a neighborhood doorbell camera, has stunned viewers online. Some have dubbed the postman "Postman Crack" or "Postman Pot", suggesting he was smoking crack cocaine or cannabis. However, others have noted the lack of smoke or vapor, indicating he may have been using the pipe to smoke a different substance.

Regardless, Royal Mail has made it clear that such behavior is strictly prohibited, with posties banned from smoking in uniform or in their vans during shifts, even if the substance is just a regular cigarette.
