Royal Mail has launched an investigation after large quantities of mail were found discarded on the outskirts of Derry, with the material believed to include hundreds of letters.
The discovery has prompted the postal service to examine how the mail came to be dumped and to establish the full scale of what happened. The location and circumstances surrounding the discarded items have not been detailed in the available information.
Royal Mail is now seeking to determine how the mail left the postal system and whether other items may have been affected. The investigation is ongoing, and no further findings have been provided.
The latest known position is that the discarded mail has been identified and Royal Mail is working to establish what happened to it. Further information is expected once the investigation has progressed.
