She is one of many criminals named in our latest court list

A Royal mail worker stole 135 packages meant for customers over a period of five years.

Between 2014 and 2019, Lynsey Shaw took greetings cards and gift cards.

The 46-year-old, of Charles Street, Leabrooks, near Alfreton, pleaded guilty to theft from her employer when she appeared at Southern Derbyshire Magistrates' Court.

She was jailed for 26 weeks, suspended for a year and was handed a three-month tagged curfew and was ordered to pay £1,500 costs and a £122 victim surcharge.

As well as taking the 135 postal packages between October 2014 and October 2019, she also admitted to stealing seven postal packages containing greetings cards on October 30, 2019.

"Employers are always seeking more productivity from workers, without considering the human factor, the worker's age, the weather conditions and the intense heat. We need to intervene before it's too late, reducing working hours and the load carried by workers, because it's impossible to sustain the rhythm they're forced to work at for many years."

Absolute disgrace! I'd have handed out 5 years hard labour!
