A Royal Mail van was stolen in Poole as a postman was emptying a post box.

Police are appealing for witnesses after the vehicle was swiped at around 5:30pm on Friday 9 May while parked along Wolterton Road.

The vehicle contained a large quantity of parcels and packages, some bagged in grey, blue or green Royal Mail sacks.

The van was later found by the National Police Air Service helicopter at Bourne Valley Business Park along Yarmouth Road.

Police Constable Tim Gooding of Poole police said: “I am keen to speak to anyone who saw a Royal Mail van in strange circumstances, during the evening rush hour on Friday 9 May 2014.

“In particular, I would like to speak to anyone who saw the vehicle being unloaded around Yarmouth Road or Bourne Valley Road in Poole. I would also like to know if anyone has seen discarded post bags, parcels and packages.”

“Witnesses and anyone with information should call Dorset Police on 101, quoting incident number 09:0389.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Easy, overpowered/threatened by the assailant.
