Kevin Dombroski of Worcester admitted to one count of mail theft by a US Postal Service employee on Aug. 30, the US Attorney's Office said. A federal judge will sentence him in January.
Dombroski said he stole packages between eight to 10 times that were mailed from Puerto Rico to Worcester that he thought had drugs inside. He would take the parcels into a private room, remove the drugs from inside, and return the now-empty boxes for delivery, he admitted to the court.
He would sell the drugs he stole for $7,500 a package, the attorney's office said.
Dombroski faces up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
