Worcester USPS worker admits to stealing cocaine-filled packages

A former supervisor for the U.S. Postal Service pleaded guilty last week to stealing packages containing cocaine from a Worcester post office.

Kevin Dombroski, 43, of Worcester, pleaded guilty on Aug. 30 to mail theft by an employee of USPS.

Dombroski, a former supervisor at the Worcester Main Post Office, admitted to stealing packages mailed from Puerto Rico to Worcester addresses that he believed would contain cocaine on eight to 10 occasions. He would bring the packages from the main processing area to his private office, where he would open them and remove the cocaine before returning the packages back to the processing floor for delivery.

Dombroski sold the contents of the packages to an acquaintance for $7,500 each.

Dombroski is scheduled to be sentenced on Jan. 19. Mail theft by a USPS employee provides for a sentence of up to five years in prison, up to three years of supervised release and a fine of up to $250,000.
